Problem with Pie

After opening up this weeks photographs, it seems we have a problem with pies? As we were getting ready to start the week, Cupcake saw a recipe for sweet potato pie. All southerners are supposed to love them some sweet potato pie, and Lawman thought it is something he needs to have in his wheelhouse. We had sweet potatoes, we had pie plates. We had pecans.....

We baked the sweet potatoes until they were tender, then we put them in the mixer and smooshed them up well.

We threw in the rest of the ingredients and baked it.

The topping was just butter, brown sugar and pecans. Easy peasy.

Just to break up the pie post, Cupcake was wanting oysters for dinner one night.

Then it's back to pie.
Cupcake wanted a lemon pie for Easter, and said we should probably make a test run before we served it to family.

One project Lawman worked on this week was the bee hive. He had to make a trip to Blowes for some parts (screen, bolts, and latches) plus some 2X4's for the legs and the new shelving in the pantry that's coming up. After he secured the lumber, he got the legs on and started on the lid.

He made this one a lot taller than the one we bought, to keep skunks from getting at the entrance and to keep him from bending over during the inspections. We hope to have it done by the end of next week.
We ended this week with wings. And oysters.
