Last year the Brick House did the pies for the 8th Ward Mother's Day treat. It was good and it was a lot of work. This year I thought it would be better all around to have the youth help make the pies. It will save on the Ward budget and it will involve the youth in the pie making process. We did that and I think it worked out very well. There were a couple of things that I probably needed to oversee a little closer and I will make a few adjustments in order to create a better pie but all in all I think it went well. The sisters had plenty of pie to partake of and at the end, there was enough pie for all of the young men to get a little taste as well. The youth sure seemed to enjoy themselves and I think it was just a little more meaningful to them knowing that they participated in making the pies, decorating the pies, and serving the wonderful women and young women of our ward.
Next up are pies for Father's Day and teaching the young women how to make pie. I will make a few recipe adjustments to improve a couple of the pies and then we will be off. I think we will find great success once again.
Happy Mother's Day to my own mother on this fine day. We Cedar City people gathered at the folks for a meal and enjoyed each others company. Andy had picked out a great card with a strange looking cat and we gave it to mom with a little message and some treats - chocolate covered cashews and almonds, no pies.
