MacKenzie Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I didn't bother to take the time to sear the steak because I had dessert on my mind;) I make maybe 1 pie per year so I'm not very good at getting it picture perfect but the taste is spot on. As you can see I don't know how to weave:) This a rhubarb pie and the rhubarb is just fresh from the garden. Baked or perhaps a little over baked. A mangled slice of pie:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Pie looks good to me. I've been picking fresh Blueberries from the front yard lately. Maybe I need to bake a pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 ckreef, yes a blueberry pie would be great and with some homemade vanilla ice cream:) BTW our blueberries are at least 2 months away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Well, MacKenzie, if that doesn't look absolutely delicious, I don't know what does! And I'll eat all the mangled pie you want to send my way. Kudos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have another week or so of picking left. Blueberries are the one fruit deers won't touch. I tried peach trees. Forget it. The deers came one night and ate all the little peaches and left the pits on the ground. The next day they came and stripped every leaf off them. Pissed me off so the third day the riding lawn mower ate what was left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 ckreef, sounds like my adventures with my corn and the raccoons. They'd come and test it and if the corn wasn't ripe they left it alone and would come back a little later when it was ripe and then ate the whole patch. I stopped growing it:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I hear that. This past winter, had both possums and raccoon on my deck trying to get into the bird feeders. Seriously reconsidering putting out the feeders next winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 tony, I just came in the house from taking down the feeders, the raccoons are now out from their winter digs. Glad we don't have possums:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeramicChef Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 ckreef - I have a very nice Weatherby Vangaurd Series 2, a .308 caliber, that would solve all your deer problems in a hurry! Guaranteed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 It's not so much the damage that they can do (replaced several feeders over the years that the raccoon have destroyed), it's more a worry about my dogs. There's a dog door that leads out onto the deck so they can let themselves out. They have cornered both raccoon and possums on the deck (usually in the middle of the night!). So, I really don't want a middle of the night visit to the vet emergency room to get one of my dogs patched up from tangling with a critter! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good. Don't forget to cut off and boil down the Tennessee racoon blarney stones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guaranteed!Not sure that would solve the deer problem. Where I live the deer population is severely over popuulated. They have raised the hunting limit to 12 per season and that's still not enough to curtail the population. You would have to sit out every night year round.

tony b Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I live in town, but my neighborhood has a lot of wooded ravines where the deer can hang out. We call them "urban deer." We actually have a special permit bow hunting season, in town, every year, to try and keep the population down. It's helped. But, they still come around and eat a lot of plants in your yard. I gave up on roses many years ago and they think my neighbors' hosta is the local "salad bar." I've actually sat on my deck having dinner while the deer eat the apples on the ground from my next door neighbors' tree, literally 20 feet away, with the dogs barking at them through the deck rails. They just ignore us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeramicChef Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I know this for dead sure and certain ... deer do avoid the killing grounds. It might take a week or two, but they eventually get the message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
