I went to the new Berkeley Bowl today, which is in West Berkeley and is a lot more accessible. It's a really fantastic grocery store with amazing produce. I was hoping to find sour cherries, but they were out, so I amused myself roaming the aisles looking at all the pretty things. I ended up getting some bing cherries to try making a sweet cherry pie with, and then I chanced upon some cute looking berries called gooseberries! I've never seen or tried these before, so I figured I'd buy a little basket and see how they tasted!
When I got home, I found that the gooseberries look a lot cuter than they taste good, so I put them in a bowl and took photos. They look like little balloons! Too cute.
Then I started making a cherry pie! The cherries looked so pretty! They are covered in sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in this photo.
I made the dough for the crust, put the cherries inside, and put another layer of dough on top! I used a cookie cutter to cut out a dinosaur, and then put that cutout on top, too! Dinosaur Cherry Pie!
It looked pretty good when it came out of the oven! I wish the edges were a little daintier, but I will get it right with practice!
Too bad Tim doesn't really like pies, because I can never finish them on my own. I need to take them to work or something! None the less, I thought this pie was quite tasty!
