Hey all!
Just a quick note to let y'all know what's goin' on this week... well, not much! We'll be at the Downtown Market tomorrow at Burnside Park, right across from Kennedy Plaza from 10-2. If you can't make it down there, we'll be stocking Tina's Jamaican Restaurant all weekend. So stop on by, get a Cutie or a Whole Pie and make your belly happy!
So what's the pie this week? I'll tell ya, got something special.
Earlier this week I started having dreams of Clementines. What a sweet, perfect little orange. The joy of a Clementine during the winter is second to none, but mixed with chocolate is the summer treat I went back for over and over as a kid. Our first flavor this week is Darling Clementine, a lovely pie from my childhood. The bottom is layered with dark chocolate, the top is a sweet Clementine whip. Delightful and fragrant.
Our second pie took a bit of doing, because it couldn't be cold or watery or too soft, but needed a lot of flavor. There's a lovely lady named Ramona the Watermelon Lady, a great storyteller and local artist. Obviously she likes watermelons and has been asking for a Watermelon Pie. We've finally got it. I'm proud to offer this lovely, pink little thing for Ramona.
We'll also have a bit of Cutie Quiche and a little Pecan Cinnamon rolls at the market. C'mon out and see us and, folks, enjoy the weather. Won't be this lovely for long. Hope everyone's get a great weekend planned!

Chocolate Lavender and Orange Buttercream
Happy New Year, y'all!!
Yes, it is your long lost Cutie Pie maker, only so because we've been up to our
elbows in work over here and are now getting the email/blog postings back up.
That said, let's get to the pies of the week! This week I'm serving up an
exciting pie, a flavor so old it is new again, Chocolate Lavender! Yes, not only
can you eat lavender, but it is down right good. This stuff isn't just for soap,
y'know.
We start off with a rich, dark chocolate and meld it with the most beautiful
organic, culinary quality lavender. The result is something that is sweet and
chocolaty on the front end with only a hint of that warm fragrant lavender, but
builds into a heady taste that almost overwhelms, but not quite. Cooking with
lavender has been a long time favorite of mine, and I thought y'all would
appreciate something completely different and unexpected.
Our other flavor this week is one I've done before, but keep getting requests
for. I can't hold back when there's so many requests, so I've brought back the
Orange Buttercream Dream. For those of y'all that haven't had it yet, think a
Creamsicle in a pie. This lovely little custard will warm you up from the inside
on a cold winter day, thoughts of the tropics float through your head and
suddenly it doesn't feel like snow at all.
Both these pies can be done gluten free, but neither are lactose intolerant,
sugar free or vegan. I'm sorry.
If you have a special request for any pie, just give a shout or email and we'll
get whatever you like to you. All orders for delivery must be in by Wednesday
the 14th and delivery is at your convenience.
You can also come to the Hope Artiste Village in Pawtucket for the Winter
Market. That is every Saturday (tomorrow) between 11-2. Lots of great vendors
and excellent products. And pie! Check out the website for directions and
information.
Finally, let me say, my hope is everyone had an excellent holiday a great New
Year and wish for an even better year to come. That has been my own personal
holiday wish for everyone and the only thing I wanted this year. And also to
thank all y'all for making this a great holiday season for Cutie Pies. I'm
truly, completely grateful.

Falling in Love with Pie
Hey there, y'all!!
We've been working really hard over here at Cutie Pies to bring y'all some new things, or at least new options. I, personally, love many choices, so it goes to figure I'd make sure you guys have as many as we can think of over here.
Usually I'll pop out something strange like an orange pumpkin this time of year, but I'll save that for later in the season. Instead I'm following up last week's Chicago Blues pie with something just as sensual, but not quite as unusual.
This week is Falling in Love. So named because it's considered, in my neck of Louisiana, to be a spell pie. You feed this thing to someone you want to fall in love with you, or even better, split it, and who could help but feel romantically toward you? We're talking a rich chocolate crust filled with organic dark chocolate, fresh mashed up raspberries and swirled with a mint ribbon.
I'd love you if you served that to me!
Sometimes, when you feel the weather start to turn a little wet and you know fall is on the way, you can't help but want someone to curl up with to watch the leaves. This is my way of making that happen. For home delivery just give a call or email. Deliveries are on Friday between 6-7, and this wistful little pie is $20.
Also this week we'll be featuring Lemon Blueberry Pop! at our markets Downtown and at Brown. Yes, I know we just did this two weeks ago, but it is still a tremendous pie and was requested by one of my most favorite clients of all time, so I couldn't resist. There will be no other repeats for the rest of the year. Yeah, I know, I rock.
The Falling in Love pie can be done gluten free, but not vegan or sugar free. Sorry guys, just way too rich and far too much chocolate. Next chocolate one will at least be vegan friendly. The Lemon Blueberry Pop! can be done gluten free and sugar free. Vegans kinda lose out this week, I'll make it up to you next week.
In other news we've just signed on with Food For Thought, a big Providence/Rhode Island food fest happening on the 24th of this month, I'll post more details when I get some. Also I'll be on Jen's Dish on the 24th of this month promoting Cutie Pies, talking about Food For Thought and just talking about the wonder that is good food. Again, more details next week. Oh! This is *VERY* exciting news, I've actually got someone to work on the website so it'll actually be pretty and more updated. Yea! I don't have to do it all anymore! So keep an eye out, there's a lot developing over here and I'm so happy to get to share it with y'all.
Oh, last thing, from now on the mailer is going be sent out on Mondays. I do apologize for any inconvenience, but it makes sense with us doing the Brown market on Wednesdays.
That is it , folks! Hope everyone is having a delightful week, despite the rain.

Chicago Blues - Bluest Pie Around
Hello all!
Welcome back to the Cutie Pie news letter and greetings to all the new folks! Hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday weekend. Labor is always a good thing.
Now, before I go any further I'd like to say that I'm very concerned for my fellow New Orleanians and Louisianans. Things are not as bad as with Katrina, but it's still kinda bad. All Cutie proceeds this week are going toward relief effort. I know it isn't much, but right now it's the least I can do.
At least you can feel better about stretching out your diet and getting a pie.
So! The pie of the week! This week I'm offering up my Chicago Blues: a chocolate crust filled with a dark chocolate/fudge filling, smashed with blackberries and blueberries. It is a dark, rich, deep soul fulfilling pie that echos some of my favorite things about the end of summer and the come on of fall. Chocolate is in, berries will soon be out, so we mix the two.
Also this week I'll be featuring my Orange Buttercream Dream. That's the pie that tastes like a light, fluffy pie version of a Orange Creamsicle. I figure with such a dark and rich pie there should be a balance with a light, silky one. Both are excellent.
The Chicago Blues can be done gluten free, but not vegan or sugar free.
The Orange Buttercream can be done gluten free and vegan, but not sugar free. I need to be notified for these types of special orders by Wednesday afternoon. I know it's short notice, I'll get the mail out on Mondays from now on, promise.
For all other orders just give a shout before Thursday night for Friday evening delivery. Call, email, flag me down, send a carrier pidgin.
Also we're starting a new market on Wednesday! Yea! The Blown University farmer's market runs from 11-2 at Wriston Quad on Thayer St And George St.
You can find directions and maps here:
http://www.farmfresh.org/food/farmersmarkets_details.php?market=5
That's about all for this week, we'll see you at the markets and on delivery days. Hope everyone's having a good week and closing out the summer with joy.

* Wednesday, June 4,*
Hey y'all!
Very brief this week, just wanted to let y'all know this week's pie is a Honey Pie in two flavors, Chocolate and Vanilla.
Also there will be no more Hope High Farmers' Market for Cutie Pies. The regular season is beginning this Saturday and I do not qualify for it. So no market this week, but starting next Friday we'll be at the Downtown Market in front of Burnside Park right across from Kennedy Plaza. They've set it up really nice with tables, fun for the kids and dogs are welcome to take a stroll.
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a better week to come.

*Friday, May 30*
Heya guys!
Yes, I know I'm late this week, but as they say, better late than never.
Just a few things, I'll be at the Hope High market Saturday, tomorrow. And yes, I know it looks like rain, I'll still be there. Never fear, pie conquers all.
As to flavors, it's a mixed bag this week. Here's the list:
*Red Eye - a lemon whip with a raspberry center
*Espresso Chocolate Chip (y'all should be familiar with that one by now)
*Strawberry Pandora - a crushed strawberry with coconut
*Raspberry Zip - pretty much a pure, sweet raspberry
*Buckeye Pie - a chocolate, peanut butter, nougat
*Raspberry Crush - a fragrant coconut raspberry crushed together in total harmony
*Cherry - standard cherry pie, but only in my very small tiny taster size. I couldn't get enough cherries to make whole pies yet.
So there ya go. Here's wishing everyone a happy weekend and much better weather.
