Tom had taken a bag of peaches from the farmers’ market over to Dorene and Don. Last night they invited us over for peach pie, with a gluten-free crust.
They didn’t use a frozen crust from the co-op, like we do when we make a pie. The crust was made by Don himself. It was incredible! Crisp and buttery and sweet and salty. We took home 2 gigantic pieces of pie and ate them for breakfast.
That’s Dorene’s college roommate from Boston, Beth, standing behind Dorene and Don. When I asked Beth what she was into, she said, “Well, I tot ought.” Tom had to ask her to repeat herself several times until he realized she had “taught art.” Now she decorates cakes in her daughter’s fancy bakery, and paints seascapes.
