Broccoli too cold, potatoes too hot, salmon just right.
"They look like little gems!" Oh, because they are!
I spent my childhood in a village called Cayuga in Ontario, Canada in the 70s. It was pretty rustic! There were multiple bushes of blackberries at the back of our yard which backed onto a wild space. In season, all of the neighbourhood kids had purple fingers and mouths! Yummeeee!!!
ATK,Hello,the SALMON dish was really nice, but then that BLACKBURRY PIE WAS TO DIE FOR, THANKS 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Oh My 😋😋😋😘🤔😉💔❤
Yummylicious with no Smellovision😋😂👀😳😻🥴🥳🥰🌹🌸🎉🍁🍀🌿🌾
That's all well and good, but who has enough space in there fridge, it would be nice to have all that space. you need to be like regular kitchens, that don't have all those things. who can afford all that. we have to work with what we got and can afford. you guys aren't real. it's all a show……
Making that crust is a lot harder than she made it look. Especially, if you have hot and hammer hands like me.
I have a bad feeling that I'd be burning my mouth; I can't wait 4 hours.
Delicious preparation ❤️🤝❤️
Steamed broccoli with melted cheese is yummy, and cauliflower too!
My mom waited until the pie came out and bushed the top with milk and sprinkled cinnamon on it. Especially on apple pie! She said it was a French pastry crust!
Native American Indians probably ate them when they were growing wild.
We had a yard with a lot of berries–primarily Boysens, with some Logans (great mix!). We were in the SF Bay Area. My Mom's trick for berry pies–of which we ate LOTS in the summers–was to mash up some of the berries (maybe 1/2 c) with the sugar, cornstarch, and a little lemon juice (we had a couple of trees) and heat them on the stove to activate the cornstarch. Then she'd pour the mixture over the berries in a pre-cooked shell. No top crust. I think she baked it briefly, but I'd have to check her recipe, which I don't have with me. Then she'd chill it until we were through dinner. Once in a while, there'd even be a piece left for the next day.
I actually know how to do a proper lattice top crust but sometimes doing it is a pain cause it's a bit tedious. Doing it the easy way looks just as good and unless you're entering a contest nobody is even going to notice.
I just steam my broccoli, then butter and a tiny bit of salt to eat. Steaming helps save the flavor, but the broccoli doesn't get too soft!
I go to the store, I pick up Bandon as my first choice and Tillimook as my second, but I suppose they are so close that I'm happy with either.
P.S. stems are better than the crowns.
She made a point of cutting 12 lattice strips but only used 8. Conspiracy!!!
Would you trust cooking advice from someone who doesn't the difference between "filet" and "fillet"?
I hate salmon. Will probably do the others.
So does it ruin you pots and pans destroy your kitchen then call you a racist?
In the Eastern U.S., from Maine to Florida, you cannot find sweet, ripe blackberries in any grocery store, including the more expensive ones. And if the blackberries aren't sour, then they're tasteless. A real shame.
Love the taste of Blackberries but not the tooth breaking seeds. How do we deal with that?

Salmon dinner, sheet pan.
Making a blackberry pie is not different than other berry pies. They all have some starch to thicken them. Personally this pie looks much too thick and the crust too thick and doughy on the fruit side. There isn't anything difficult about making a "real" lattice top! Who waits four hours to tuck into a freshly baked pie? Making a fruit pie so stiff it does not ooze, is certainly not a goal most want.
Why didn’t you make a Marionberry pie instead of a blackberry pie, marionberry is the states berry
Stunning blackberry pie! Stunning salmon and potatoes (and sauce)! Don't know about the broccoli, though…
In east Texas sugar is used to thicken the cobbler.
Nice brown pie! Too many people undertake their pies.
