can't sleep

Other blogs I read have pictures. I don't. Here's some pictures of stuff I baked recently:

Sunday. This cherry pie was difficult to accomplish because pitting cherries sucks and takes a long time. Thank goodness for the internet because women had tips on how to pit cherries if you don't have a cherry pitter tool. Use a straw to poke the pit out and your run of the mill straw won't work, it falls apart quickly. I have a ice-blended straw from Coffee Bean that's made to last a long time and it worked fine. The filling tasted great (how could it not? its cherries and sugar) but the crust tastes like crud. Undercooked or something, I dunno. 

This piece of lemon/limey goodness was from a recipe that I got off BH&G Magazine that I got from Matt's grandma. She'd finished reading it and I really wanted to try to cover recipe. Voila. I'm not a big lemon bar fan in general but I am a big fan of lemons and these little bars make the place smell great. I sent Matt's mom a picture and she was really impressed and I'm gonna make it again for the family. Though the bars on the edge tasted fantastic, the middle part needed more time even though I shot for more minutes than the recipe said it needed. I think its my oven.

So those are some pictures. Don't say I'm devoid of color now. 

Oh and this is not a cooking blog. This is a blog of me and me has had a lot of free time... not next week though.
