The End.

Blueberry Pie

I think this was the last pie I made in Pittsburgh. It was the second to last pie I made in Pennsylvania, before I moved to Alabama for a new job. The unexpected opportunity has caused drastic changes in my life. If you told me three months ago that I'd be leaving Pittsburgh, I would have said you were crazy.

So instead of spending my weekends in the Strip, I am spending them visiting places like this:

Continental Bakery

Continental Bakery

Continental Bakery

Pepper Place Farmers Market

Pepper Place Farmers Market

Given that this blog was meant to be Pittsburgh centric, I think it's time to conclude it. I don't think blogs should go on forever- much has changed since I started this one, and i'm ready for new projects. Should I start a new baking or food related project, I will let you know. Pittsburgh has been good to me, and I will miss it.

    This makes me a little sad! I hope you find some great eats in Alabama, and good luck with your job. =)

    Absolutely perfect crust, and excellent fluting skills going on here.

    how sad - i just discovered your blog while searching for a recipe for a Lemon Meringue Pie.
    Good luck with your new job and in a new city.
    Thanks for keeping your blog though so I can dig into some of the other scrumptious looking pastries you have made.

    I was afraid this was coming because you are usually very punctual with your blogging. I will miss your blog very much. I have many favorite recipes from your blog, especially the Baked French Toast (which I make often). I never met you in person, but I will cherish your recipes. Thanks for sharing all your culinary skills with the world. You are gifted baker and a perfectionist. Hope you have a change of heart in Alabama and continue your new blog as Alabama Needs Eated.I hope you keep this blog up so I have time to print out all my favorite recipes from this site. Good luck with your new venture!
