![]() ![]() Though I haven’t tested, I think you could use fresh berries for this dish if you cooked them down for less time. The vodka is essential to the texture of the dough and imparts no taste (and the alcohol bakes out), so please don’t substitute. I worked with this crust before and haaaated it for some reason? I think I was a little less experienced and didn’t realize that I could be aggressive with flouring my counter, because this time I absolutely loved it. ![]() Recipe by: Willow Bird Baking, using Cook’s Illustrated’s foolproof pie dough, inspired by Crepes of Wrath Three years ago: Chocolate Pistachio Cream Cupcakesįour years ago: Black and White Croquembouche Two years ago: No-Bake Fruity Cereal Treat Cupfakes One year ago: Fruity Pebble Strawberry Ice Cream Sundaes The whole strawberries make it especially succulent and summery. And it looks like a giant strawberry pop-tart, hence the name! The pie doesn’t hold its shape very well, so we ate it in bowls with giant scoops of vanilla bean ice cream, almost like a cobbler. It’s actually just a bright, fresh strawberry pie with a killer flaky crust topped with a sweet almond glaze. Here’s a yum that I hope you won’t yuck: Strawberry Pop-Tart Pie! I admit it sounds weird, like I baked some pop-tarts into a pie, but that’s not it at all. I obviously love the THINK acronym, but even in smaller matters, I find it useful to quickly assess: am I yucking someone’s yum? It’s one of my new favorite phrases! Thanks to Rebecca from Food with Family for introducing me to it! Maybe the solution is as simple as putting a pause between our brain and our lips (or fingers online). I value productive discussions of political and religious issues and feel morally compelled to engage in public discourse to serve the greater good. (The exceptions are obvious: if someone’s opinions are racist, homophobic, sexist, or otherwise hurtful, then I think they need to be thoughtfully challenged. No matter what the motivation, I think yucking someone’s yum is almost never constructive. And if they know it and feel it, it’s SO IMPORTANT TO SAY IT! Hot dogs come up and they KNOW HOW HOT DOGS ARE MADE and have STRONG FEELINGS about it. Remember when you were little and a topic would come up in class that you knew something about? Suddenly, it was absolutely urgent in your baby heart that you involve yourself in the conversation because YOU KNEW ABOUT IT, and that was super special! Remember that feeling? I think some adults still get that. Other times I think it’s motivated by a preoccupation with THEMSELVES. Sometimes I think it’s motivated by an interest in YOU: they just want to talk with you and that’s the honest contribution they have. You mention that you can’t wait for the next book in a series to come out and they let you know that they just can’t get into it. You mention you’re going to see a movie and someone has to pop up and tell you they hated it. What great advice, right? Since then, I’ve noticed people doing this EVERYWHERE: you mention loving hot dogs and someone has to pop out of the woodwork to let you know that hot dogs are nasty. My friend responded, “Please don’t yuck my yum.” It was a happy conversation until someone chimed in just to note how disgusting she felt milkshakes were. One of my blogger friends recently asked, “If you drink milkshakes, what’s your favorite flavor?” on her Facebook wall. Thanks, Plugrá, for sponsoring this post and for making my favorite butter!
