"You get your b***hass back in the kitchen...and make me some pie!"

Who knew getting your wife to make you a pie on father's day would be so complicated?

Go to orchard. Pick cherries:

Wash cherries then pit cherries (add a heaping dose of bitching about what a PITA it is to pit cherries):

Aside from hanging around in the kitchen asking, "Is is ready yet?", my part is done.

Make cherry pie filling:

Mmmm...flour and butter. Look at all the glutens in there!:

Forming the non-organic, non-free range, non-gluten free crust in the pie pan:

Add a little extra butter. Can't let it go to waste:

Happy Fathers Day!

Did you ever buy your wife a watch?

Negative...stove has a clock. And timer.

At least you didn't make her plant the trees.

Your wife's pie crimping game is on point, as the kids say. Beautiful pie.

Mrs BG is..uh-hum...quite skilled in the kitchen...culinarily speaking, of course. I didn't get this physique by accident.

Pie looks great and I am sure it tastes amazing. I love fresh fruit pies

Peach is my favorite



& blueberry

Apple is my favorite.

I like peach as a cobbler/crisp.

Something tells me that BG's relationship with the little lady is slightly different in real life than the way it's presented in this thread. I didn't see any pictures of him wearing the pie.

Looks fantastic.

I'm basically a sucker for any kind of fruit pie; apple, blueberry, rhubarb, cherry, its all good.

For my birthday last year I got an apple green chile pie and it was quite good.

Apple/green chile sounds fantastic. May have to try that.

We She cooks a lot of blackberry stuff...because they're everywhere up here. We should have peaches ripening in about 2 months or so. These cherries came from the neighbors. They're out of town and we managed to salvage a gallon or so before the birds got them all. We should have our own peaches, cherries, apples and pears next year.

I rule this household with an iron fist!

We've only been married 30 years so I haven't really decided if she's a keeper or not. Keeps her on her toes.

For those who like apple pie, search for Grandma Opals pue recepie. Stupid good.

Blackberries are weeds in the PNW. I like those in cobblers. I think they'd be so much better without the seeds, but then that might spoil me.

Good humor, yes, but I'm thankful there is a still a place on the internet where such a thread can exist.

OP is a lucky guy!

The first summer we were here we were like, "Oh, cool! Blackberries! Right in our yard!" Even started a thread here about how wonderful they were.

Now were like, "Fuckin' blackberries!" You can't get rid of them and they take over everything in a matter of weeks. It's a constant battle of ripping them out of the earth with the tractor when I can, spraying them with copious amounts of Round-Up when necessary, or burning them. Doesn't matter. All it takes is one bird, one pooped-out seed and it starts all over again.

At least they're tasty. They're the really big and plump Himalayan variety and they are considered an invasive species. The thorns are like razor wire.

Have to be careful where you're driving your tank then.

It was quite good. Sweet, apple flavor with a touch of smoke and spice.

Got to quit that speed reading. Made out to be a whole different topic. It's like the kopi luwak coffee beans.

I read it that way the first time too.

Yeah, we had to wear denim head to toe when we went trout fishing in Oregon. Really sucks when a vine wraps around your ankle and it does its best impression of a cable saw on the front of your ankle.
