I've been a bit of a disaster in the kitchen lately, burning things left and right. Once night, I actually burned something so terribly that I had to throw out the pot -- and the house smelled for days! Thankfully, the ruined pot was the last hold out from an old college set, not one of my nice ones, but, still.. ruined pot, ruined dinner. The last in a string of burned meals.
I blame my pretty intense workload. I can't seem to focus on the food for long enough to cook it. I walk away, and before I know it... burned. I threatened to ban myself from the kitchen entirely, but we do need to eat, so I'm on a kick of heavily leaning on Trader Joe's frozen foods to supplement my meals, so that there's less for me to do. That seems to be going well so far.
The one thing that has been going well in the kitchen lately is PIE! Carter and I made a blueberry peach pie for Pi Day (3/14 -- get it?), and then made a blueberry strawberry pie the following week (trying to use up a LOT of CSA blueberries).
Okay, okay, I burned the second pie a little. But I'm only sharing the picture of the unburned (if slightly overfilled) Pi Pie.

I love your priorities, girl! If there's not enough bandwidth for whole meals, definitely focus on the pi(e)! I'm also jealous that you already have fresh local blueberries. We're so ready... Bob
