Yesterday morning while Pat was trolling the Internet and I was playing on my iPad, he asked if I had ever heard of Flapper Pie. Well of course I had – I can almost taste Mum’s right now. Once Flapper Pie was in my mind I had to have it. I was surprised that the recipe wasn’t in Mum’s recipe book; only the recipe for the graham wafer crust.

When I was out shopping yesterday afternoon I picked up the graham wafer crumbs I needed. The ingredients in the recipe Pat found were pretty basic – eggs, milk (I had some past-due cream that I used), vanilla and corn starch. No doubt Mum had the recipe well memorized and didn’t need it written out.

I started hand stitching the quilt binding this morning before heading up the street to a Garage Sale at the United Church. They have one every Spring – they start at noon on Friday which seems odd but there was quite a crowd there when I arrived. I wasn’t looking for anything but I picked up a large, decorative ceramic bowl for $3 and a set of new queen-sized sheets for $5.

As soon as lunch was over I made the Flapper Pie; it is pretty quick to make as it was just over an hour from start to finish. We haven’t tasted it yet but it smells good.

I’m having trouble motivating myself to get this hand stitching done. I was working at the kitchen table this morning and was jumping up and down to look out the windows whenever I thought I saw or heard something. Our bathroom renos are to the point where cabinet placement needed to be decided so I was in and out looking at the various options.

I’ll take a coffee break now and then get back to the stitching.
