Can you believe I've lived on the Sunshine Coast for 10 months now? That 10 months has flown by. One of my favourite things to do on a Saturday morning in the summer was go to the Sechelt Farmer's Market. I'd buy some fruit and veggies and bread for the week, but I also bought a small fortune of hand crafted products to give as Christmas gifts. And yes, I start my Christmas shopping in the summer. Get over it.
One of the first items I bought was actually for myself and not a gift for someone else! So what did I buy? Well remember earlier I said I'd like a set of bowls in this lovely blue? Well I didn't buy a set of bowls in the blue.
I did however buy a pie dish in green. I know, I know, my kitchen doesn't match. I don't even have a kitchen of my own right now. All my kitchen goodies are in boxes that I can't get to in a storage locker. I wanted to bake a pie. I needed a pie dish. If I'm going to buy a new pie dish, then it's going to be pretty.
Apples, peaches, plums, blackberries, blueberries, stawberries, pumpkins, lemons.
It's made by D'Arcy Margesson of WM Terracotta Pottery in Gibsons. He has quite the range of beautifully crafted dishes. Everything from the pie dishes to serving trays, soup bowls, mugs, teapots and casserole dishes. It's all hand thrown and decorated.
I love that on the bottom of the pie dish is a recipe for Foolpoof Pie Dough. It includes 1/4 cup of cold vodka. I'll have to try this recipe some time.
