gimme my chef's hat ...

... because I finally made a REALLY good strawberry pie! :P
Which means I found the key to make a purfect short pastry (pâte brisée): using hard butter (=not melted) cut into small pieces.

There are things that when they're home-made just taste 100% better! ...like (trying not to get salacious here ), mayonnaise, vinaigrette, pastries (short, flaky), guacamole, pizzas, etc. I wish I was a "born chef" with an instinct for cooking, you know (but, nenene, I always need books!)

I know a pair (or two :P) who was absobloodilutely satisfied with this strawberry pie
(such a pleasure to cook a lil something that does not taste just weird or unusually strange!)
