Hubby and I are taking it easy today. Yesterday was stressful as we drove a lot in very heavy confusing traffic to look in kitchen/bathroom showrooms, including at IKEA. The IKEA is a madhouse where we got lost several times. Right now Hubby is napping, something I never do during the daytime. We're at a standstill, in terms of our move. Waiting to hear back from our lawyer and the realtor.

I created a new pie (see attached) which is a red currant pie with an almond oatmeal crumble topping. I think it turned out well other than maybe needing 50% more red currant filling in it. I thought I made too much crumb topping, but after baking it doesn't look so. Originally I wanted it to be a coconut oat topping, but no coconut this week. There is a joy in baking and creating new things. Simple pleasures in life! Plus, a friend gave us so many frozen red currants and strawberries that I have to do something with them. A real tough problem to have, huh? I've jotted the observations down. The almond oat crumb is good, but some coconut in it would be extra delicious. Also, definitely a pie you want topped with whipped cream or ice cream.
