This is what happens when you say to Kat “Sure, bring whatever you want to our New Year’s Eve get-together” Yep. Comfort-food wrapped up in duck-fat. Carbo-loading is good for you, right?

Pie
Insomni-baking, Edition # (insert a random high number): Blueberry Basil Deep Dish Pie. Yup, I made a pie early this morning. Believe it or not, I really just made the pie because I needed to “get rid of” last year’s frozen Maine blueberries. It’s blueberry season again, and I am about to re-fill my freezer with this year’s crop when I realized that I still had 6-7 cups from last year. So I made this pie. And yes, I added basil to a blueberry pie. It gives it a really nice floral note … I don’t think that it is necessarily identifiable as basil, but it is very nice. Yum yum!
I’m still on a little bit of my meyer lemon kick, which I am finding the last of them in the shops for the season. Over Easter Weekend, I made this lovely little Meyer Lemon and Pistachios Tart. It almost looks like the pistachios are covered in a light dusting of snow, which would be appropriate for Spring in New England.
