Face Pie – The Halloween Pastry You Can’t Un-See

A few months ago I saw a pie image on Twitter so creepy, and disturbing, that I actually questioned whether it was too terrifying to post as a video. Usually, Halloween-themed recipes have the opposite problem, as they are almost never actually scary, but that’s not an issue here. By the way, can someone get sued for giving people nightmares?


Anyway, I eventually traced the image back to what I assumed would be some sort of food blog, but it was actually someone’s Etsy shop, where they were selling inedible versions of this basic design. So, I wasn’t able to see how it was made, but did use their “face” as a rough guide, and despite being somewhat anatomically challenged, I thought this came out looking great. And by great, I mean terrible.

If you’re disturbed enough to make this, you can use our tourtière recipe for the crust and filling, which is exactly what I did here, except for whatever reason I added a touch of ketchup to the meat. Of course, this technique would work for topping any pie, including all your favorite fruit versions, and the next time cherries are in season, I may just have to give this one more try. Or not. We’ll see. In the meantime, if at all possible, please enjoy!

Homemade Cherry Lemonade

It’s Friday, and I should be happy, but I’m not. Today marks the end of my week off from pharmacy rotations, and I don’t have another break for a really long time! It went by too fast, since I was busy cleaning and catching up on other things I didn’t get to during my last rotation. I was thinking about going on a picnic this weekend, if the weather is nice. Earlier this week I made this organic homemade cherry lemonade with some fresh organic cherries my friend gave to me. This is the perfect drink to take along on a picnic! Don’t you love the color? It comes out to be a bright pink lemonade. It is really easy to make: just add lemons, ice, water, sugar and pitted cherries to a blender and you get a nice, foamy top! I don’t like my lemonade too sweet, so by making it at home I am easily able to control the amount of sugar. Make small adjustments, because just like with spice, you can always add more, but never take away. I never like to make too much because I always want it freshly made, so this recipe only makes enough for two servings. You can double or triple it for more!

Today is the 26th wedding anniversary of my parents. Congratulations Mom and Dad, I love you!
