Continuing on. . . 

The offering follows:

A handcrafted pie will be delivered hot to your door once a month for an entire year. 

The Baker's Choice will be selected from a variety of seasonal, sweet and savory favorites including, but not limited to:

Apple Tart, Berry Pie, Plum Tart with Almond Marzipan Crumble, Mediterranean Tomato Tart, Sweet Potato Pie with Cinnamon Meringue, Sundried Tomato & Artichoke Quiche, 

Chicken Pot Pie, Cherry Pie

The item went for $150+ and I promptly donated it again to another auction to aid a neighborhood family.  The first year I baked two pies a month for very different recipients.  One family was all for apple pie and even asked I not bring some of the more "exotic" choices, when I called to schedule delivery.  The other was much more adventurous, enjoying most everything, but willing to give an honest critique when solicited.  Both families were friends and were always delighted to see me arrive, pie in hand.  The pie plates were frequently returned with a gift of fresh herbs or eggplant from their home garden or a delicious pastry from a favorite neighborhood coffee shop.  

I'm into my second year after donating again to the school auction and am excited to chronicle my adventure, along with other culinary pursuits.

Today I baked a Parmesan, Artichoke, Sundried Tomato, Salami & Basil Quiche with an almond crust.  Photos to follow!
