Keep your fork, Duke, there's Pie

The title of this post is taken from the famous quotation of the waitress serving the Duke of Edinburgh at a ceremonial dinner in a distant northern Canadian city. As she removed the main course plate, she recommended to the Duke, "Keep your fork, Duke, there's Pie."

Pie is important. So is having a fork to eat it...

Skiing and snowshoeing is only part of the getaway adventure. Food always features big in gatherings. We celebrate our friendships with good food, good conversations, good times.



Jan knows this well, so last week, while most of the 'Gang' were out on the trails, she whipped up a Peaches 'N Cream Tart for dessert.



From all reports, it tasted as good as it looked, and it sure didn't last very long! What is it they say about making good meals? Takes two hours to make, and two minutes to consume? Something like that...



Here's the recipe for this no-cook tasty treat. Thanks so much to Jan for sharing!
