signature festival, final day

Alas, the Festival draws (see what I did there?) to a close. Our three days of nibs, ink, and intelligible handwriting have been an experience to remember. For now, let us end this time of joy... with pie!



The pie is a symbol of the home, the embodiment of comfort! It represents the love and care of one person made real, and gifted to another



Pies are delicate. Their finicky crusts take precision and care to create. There is no set recipe for a real pie-crust: while there may be guidelines, every crust must be individually tweaked to achieve that unique, flaky texture.



Pies are varied to beyond imagining: If you can think, it has be baked into a pie. From apples to blackbirds to coconut creams, there is a after-dinner (I prefer them as a mid-day snack) pie for everyone.



The pie is not limited to just sweets, though. Personally, I have sampled meat pies, potato pies, and squash pies (among others). There truly is a pie for all occasions.




P.S. (The cake is a lie!)
