Chocolate Raspberry and a Stinger!

Hey all!! Just a quick shout of this week's flavors.

Our pies of the week start with the very last good raspberries of the season, a Chocolate Raspberry Divine. Sweet, sensual, a classic that always pleases and sends mouths watering. Perfect to share with someonme special or gobble up all on your own!

Next we have something unusual, a Lemon Stinger Pie. As some of y'all might recall, Lemon Stingers were a popular cocktail in the 60's and then in the 80's. Since a lot of 60's fashion has come back, I've decided the Stinger should too, and designed a pie after it. Tart, sweet and a nice kick at the end, this will please everyone. At least those that drink a little alcohol, although it has burned off in the bake.

As a side note, I promised someone I'd have Chicago Blues for them last week, but with all the bad weather didn't see them. We'll have a little bit of that on hand as well.

We've also got two flavors of Cutie Quiche, Brocklie Cheddar and a Feta, Spinach, Garlic and Green Onion. I really need to start naming these quiche as well! We'll also have Cornbread and Pecan Cinnamon Rolls. Y'all now have the option of frosting, or plain!

The rest of this week's markets go something like this, there's Downtown at Kennedy Plaza tomorrow from 11-2, I know we've unexpectedly had some cancellations with this market, but I'll be there come hell or high water. We'll also be at the Open Market at Lippit Park on Saturday from 10-4. The big Hope St farmer's market will be on one side, the Open Market is on the other, right on Hope St., across from Chez Pascal.

Hope everyone's great, this should be a perfect weather weekend so get on out and see us while it's still beautiful!

Sue's Honey Dipped Ricotta, Banana's Foster and Spicy Pineapple Chocolate

Hello there, y'all!

Alright, last week at Lippitt Park's Open Market was AMAZING! Not only did everyone show up, but the quality of vendors really blew me away. Nice day all the way around, even though there was some drizzle in the morning. This Saturday should be even better, and there is no predicted rain. (Knock on wood here, guys.)

This week we've got three pies for ya. First is our Banana's Foster. I did this a little while back and it was such a hit there wasn't even time to announce it, just flew off the shelves! This is bananas flambeed in rum and brown sugar, then baked into a vanilla pie. Outstanding, you'll never have better. And not as messy as a traditional Foster.

Next up is the Spicy Pineapple Chocolate. Yes, I did do this last week. The thing is there just weren't enough, and it's been requested again by a whole lot of folks, so here it is: Lightly spiced fresh pineapple in a creamy, dark chocolate filling. Might sound unusual, but most of my very unusual pies are the best.

Last pie is very special to me. This is called Sue's Honey Dipped Ricotta. This is a sweet ricotta pie, very traditional, very Rhode Island, but has honey dipped strawberries sprinkled throughout and baked in. Sweet, natural, made with the best ricotta (Narragansett Creamery), local honey and fresh berries from one of my best friend's organic greenhouse.

This pie is named and designed after Susan O'Connell, a good friend of mine and one of the best local ladies I know. I wanted something traditional to Rhode Island (Sweet Ricotta), because she's from here. Everything had to be local (unlike bananas) because Sue is the best of what's local to this state. She's a little shy, but once you open her up, boy howdy! She's also very no nonsense and clear cut in her opinions and world view, but is willing to listen to everyone's point. This is unusal. Susan is fresh, like a good strawberry, bright, warm and a perfect heart inside. Sue, indeed, has a heart so big you could see it from space. This is my warm, sun soaked (honey), funny, twisted friend. And I hope y'all enjoy her pie, because if Sue were a pie, this would be it.

And last, this week we'll be carrying two kinds of Cutie Quiche (not sure what they are until tomorrow), but will say we sold out of them pretty instantly. So get there early!

Same for the Pecan Cinnamon Rolls, so good they were out the door within a half hour!

We will be introducing other things this week if time permits... can I ask y'all to look for Bagels? If not this week, next. No deliveries this week, we've been slammed. Hope everyone has a great weekend, and we'll see you at the park!!
