who needs friends..

..when you have pie!

the plan for today was to head out of the city and go for a bit of a frolic with a friend, but after waking up to a message on my phone that went something along the lines of: 'only just got home from work, really tired, can't do anything today sorry!' looks like those plans were out the window. i spent a good few hours pottering around glumly, when the glorious woman who is my mother walked through the door with a big bag of sweet, plump, ruby red cherries. i haven't done a lot of cooking lately, i tend to fall in and out of love with food quite regularly, but recently i've been dreaming of steaming hot pies fresh out of the oven, and i couldn't pass up making good use of my new found cherry opportunity!

apart from a donna hay pastry recipe i kind of just threw it together (most lovingly) while having a good ol' boogie to j.j cale on the radio. and i tell you what, it tastes gosh darn scrumptious! i can't think of a better way to spend the afternoon... sadly the only photos i have on hand are the lame digital ones i took when it was done, i'll have to wait to get the rolls i took developed, and then i think i'll post up the recipe, because sharing is caring, and this is just too yummy to keep to myself (did i mention i already ate 2 big slices?? ha..).
