Did you know that the “halo” referred to in the song means a condom? I totally didn’t know. Bizarre. Anyway my sunday mornings are a lot more wholesome- today was sweeeeet! Especially with my Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie. *gringringrin* I’ve been using a lot of cream and berries in my baking lately- inspired by the summer heat. Haha who am I kidding I love berries and cream and cream cheese so when recipes combine these I seize them lasciviously.
So anyway today was the best!!!! It was the Feast of St Ignatius (my church’s patron saint) so our happy family choir threw a potluck breakfast thingamagig that was absolutely lovely with kiddos running about and climbing treehouses and getting soaked by the sudden downpour and us analysing developing love triangles amongst the “younger generation”. My saddest moment was when my beautiful pie was brought out of the kitchen (I had dropped it off to be refridgerated before mass) brutally and savagely chopped into a dreadful mess. I had painstakingly arranged the ruby red strawberries last night and my heart was shredded into a million tiny fibres. But nevertheless it was yummilicious and gone in a flurry of grabbing. Have to make more next time.
So ends today’s bake-apades. Tommorrow: Blueberry Pie.
PS: I love my choir! I swear we are the happiest family in the world. I could barely sing the last hymn because when Hannah/Aunty Gin announed that the final hymn was Noble Knight (tribute to the saint) Frances was like “Yay!” and she was just below the mike. Wah fainted. I was shaking with laughing so much so that I couldn’t breathe yet alone sing for the first two stanzas. Well done France.
