Trapped by the Tide

Yesterday was such a beautiful summer's day. With the promise of rain for the rest of the week, we decided to pack a picnic and go to the beach.  I dutifully checked the tide times and noted that the tide was on it's way in -- perfect! (f.y.i. when the tide is out the water is really, really, really far away -- oh, the miracle of the Bay of Fundy).  We ate our lunch on a grassy spot above the beach, then walked down to dip our toes into the water.

Pie

Summer has finally arrived -- the weather is hot and meal planning becomes a little trickier.  Earlier this week, I pulled a pie out of the freezer.  The idea of meat pie and a big salad was applauded by all -- a rarity in our house.  The plan was to cook the pie in the toaster oven so as not to heat the whole house, brilliant, right?
