For some reason blueberry pie reminds me of summer. Since summer is fast approaching, I figured it was time to make blueberry pie. Isn't it funny how we wait for certain times of the year to make certain things? Like pumpkin pie...people only seem to make it around Thanksgiving. Maybe I should turn things around and make pumpkin pie in the summer and blueberry pie for Thanksgiving just to see who's paying attention! I had made up my mind to make blueberry pie before my husband requested strawberry rhubarb pie. I had to tell him I'd make him a pie, just not the one he wanted. I think I see a strawberry rhubarb pie in the near future ☺ This recipe comes from a Stonewall Kitchen cookbook. It's the only blueberry pie recipe I will ever use. It's delicious, and there really is no reason to mess with it. The only thing I "changed" was that I added more blueberries than the recipe calls for. I also don't use their pie crust recipe because I tried it and found that I prefer my own. Oh, and their recipe has you brushing the top crust with an egg wash but I brush it with 1/2 & 1/2 and sprinkle sugar on instead. Everything else is perfect the way it is. Blueberry Pie 9-inch double pie crust (Click here for my Perfect Pie crust recipe) 1 tbsp unsalted butter 2 tbsp all-purpose flour 6 cups blueberries 1/2 cup sugar 1 tbsp grated lemon zest 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice Pinch of salt 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp nutmeg Melt butter in medium saucepan on medium heat. Add flour and stir to combine, about 1 minute. Add half the blueberries and all the sugar and cook 8-10 minutes. The sugar will be dissolved and the mixture has thickened. Add the remaining blueberries and the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook for another minute, then remove from heat. Let the filling cool to room temp. Roll out one of the disks of dough and transfer to a 9-inch pie plate, making sure the dough falls over the edges of the pie plate. Spoon blueberry mixture into the pie plate. Roll out the other disk of dough, and cut into strips about 1/2 inch wide. Place strips on top of filling, creating a crisscross lattice pattern. Trim off excess crust and crimp the edges with together with a fork. Place pie in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Place pie on cookie sheet and brush top with cream or 1/2 & 1/2, then sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 375 for 50-60 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

This is an image from Smugglers Notch which is in Northern Vermont and is a great place for taking images - so much to shoot there. The colors also were incredible there. This image was taken on the way up to Smugglers Notch - I liked how the cloud bank was coming down on the mountainside but the path was still bright with color I had some of the craziest things ever happen to me on this trip that I have ever experienced. I have tried to list some of them in the following blog Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me ???????? Click the link to read the following blog to see all the images from the trip and see a special slideshow I put together which shows some of the highlights from the trip Kevin McNeal's Blog For the slideshow the software would not upload the volume button or load a start and stop button so you will have to lower the volume from your computer - sorry about that !!

Tuesday, March 6th is Town Meeting Day in Vermont, and I have it off from work. Town Meeting Day is the day that citizens of VT gather in their town to vote for local officials, approve budgets and address other local town business. Really though, it seems to be more about socializing. Since there is also no school on Town Meeting Day, the meeting in our town is held at the elementary school. It is kinda nice - there's always a big dinner and they always seem to get a good turnout. Not everyone gets the day off, however, I have always had it off and once again I am not attending the town meeting. Is that bad??? I need to make the trip into town to do some much needed shopping. I always seem to be tied up on the weekends lately, so it will be nice to have the day off during the week. Gotta love Vermont! This is my meatloaf recipe. Meatloaf is one thing my family seems to really like, and this is my go-to recipe. However, it is fun to play with it and add whatever I may have in my fridge that needs to be used up. Sometimes I'll throw in mushrooms, roasted red pepper....once I even threw in plum sauce (which actually turned out very good). I don't think you can really go wrong with meatloaf. Especially on a cold winter day with a side of mashed potatoes and corn - YUM! And hey, it's a perfect meal for Town Meeting Day :) Little B's Meatloaf 1 lb ground beef 1/2 lb ground veal 1/2 lb ground pork 3/4 cup minced onion 1 tsp minced garlic 1/3 cup chopped green pepper 1 tbsp grated horseradish 2 tsp Dijon mustard 2 eggs beaten 1 cup bread crumbs 1 cup grated Parmesan 2 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 1/4 cup milk 1/4 ketchup Preheat oven to 400. In a large bowl, add all ingredients and combine gently. Grease (or spray with cooking spray) a 9x5 loaf pan & gently shape meat and put in to pan. Top with glaze (see below). Bacon on top is yummy too. Cook for about an hour, or until fully cooked through. Let set for 10 minutes after removing from oven before cutting. For glaze: combine 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp hot sauce, 1/4 tsp Worcestshire sauce, 1 tbsp butter, and 1/8 cup brown sugar in small sauce pan and simmer for 5 minutes.

For the August Picnik theme contest "Found in the Attic" I scoffed at the idea of doing photo editing online but have found both the Flickr version (found at the Edit button above each photo) and the online version at Picnik.com, which has more features and is free in the version with ads, to be fast, easy, and remarkably powerful for day to day touch ups.

terriseesthings: You post a favorite photo of yours from Vermont. Include where the photo was taken. I.E. "Montpelier, VT" or "Burlington, VT" This thread will eventually be a tour of the state with a variety of images all in one place! Rules +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ * One photo per post * Post medium sizes only (Better view, small is lame IMHO) Need help? * You can't post multiple times in a row, you have to wait until someone else posts (unless it's been 24hrs, then I guess it would be okay) ;) * Try and comment on a couple other photos already in the thread, not required but it is polite. * If you are so inclined, GeoTag your shots, so people taking the photo tour can take the real tour if they'd like. (Discuss this Phototour idea here)

A fun, little onigiri dude! He's not too bright but you gotta love his energy. - Nori for modesty. 5x7 inches / 13x18 cm Original Handprinted Linocut (not a digitally reproduced print) Archival Oil Based Ink Hand Torn Legion Stonehenge Paper (100% cotton) Open Edition, Signed by Artist Unframed Made in Vermont USA Process: Each print starts in my sketchbook. Next, I carve the design into a linoleum block. The negative space is what is carved away and the remaining surface is what gets inked. I press my paper against the block and rub the back with a spoon until the image appears. Then, I hang the successful prints up to dry for a few days. To finish, I sign each print with a pencil. Image is printed by hand by the artist. Paper is torn to size by the same hands -please allow for small variations in the printed image and size of the paper. That's what makes them special :) Feel free to reach out to me through messages. I have another Etsy shop where I sell hand-bound sketchbooks with professional artist paper. Check it out to see reviews from happy customers :) https://www.etsy.com/shop/TrueMidnight

This is an image from my recent trip this fall to Vermont. This is one of the fantastic idyllic farm settings that looks great in the fall. Especially when the leaves fall like they do in this foreground. I choose to give it a slighty soft focus as it enhanced the mood of the colors and feel in this image. I have started a series on my blog on " A Consistent Workflow To Improve Your Photography " that can be checked out here Kevin McNeal's Blog I also have written some thoughts on on how to whether it is possible to balance family and photography With Christmas coming up I have decided to sell prints for sale for the first time so you can go to my website to check out some of the latest images and prices www.kevinmcnealphotography.com If you are interested in workshops for the coming year we have a special on to the end of the year which can be checked out at this website To see more information you can go our website at nwphototours.com/
