A new favorite pie Barb made for me - even though she doesn't like fruit pipes (just savory). I don't like sweet pies, but I do love tart cherry pies, and apples pies that are tart as well. This is all the info she will share for Apple and Blackberry Pie.
To make two pies
-Substitute one third of the Apple fruit with Blackberries
-A total of two thirds of a cup of sugar is used for both pies - 2/3rds of the 2/3rds of a cup is white sugar. and 1/3 of the 2/3rds brown sugar
-Spices are Cardamon. Nutmeg, and Vanilla powder (looks like whizzed Vanilla bean pods), & the obligatory pinch of salt.
Edit: + The juice and zest of one lemon
-Sprinkle Turbinado sugar over the top
I'm noticing a thirds measuring theme here. If you put cinnamon in she will break your knuckles with a wooden spoon. The taste is amazing - of course!...Show more →

I think this may be the longest time between posts on this thread. Here's one to keep it alive. On the way to the market this morning with the 28mm f2.8 ais.

Thanks for getting us moving again Leighton, it is awfully quiet around here. Sure hope it's just the busyness of work and good busy life that's keeping things quiet. If you're one of the regulars, drop a line so we know things are well; no pictures needed.
This whole place is a bit dead, confirming that these are gear forums. When there is no new product to gush or argue about, we're lost . If only more people shot MFNG, there'll be peace in the world.

Sorry I'm a little late to the party but I was on that hill about 18 years ago after delivering some Montana Moose Drool beer to the Womack family. Come out his gate, turn right and go down that hill to Middlebrook Village Road, the Middlebrook Mercantile, Post Office and Library. Still sharp in my memory. A beautiful area indeed!
Too short a visit with Leighton, Barbara, and 2 magnificent Great Pyrenees that watched over their sheep and had hoped to make it back but that never worked out.
An always lurking Montana Kid......
Good to see you again Jack, hope all is well. I wish you and your wife good have stayed awhile too. No more sheep and we're down to one Great Pyrenees, although, not the one you met. Take care my friend.
Yes, I've sent the owners a few pictures electronically, their interest is in FB postings. It's a sunflower farm that opens to the public for about 10 days during peak bloom. Some nice folks that run the place and do a good job with props and the like for people to come and enjoy.

Jack! I was just thinking of you last week and wondering how you are!! The 85mm is still my buddy and Montana Moose Drool still makes me laugh! So great to see you post!
We recently picked up some new residents for our little home. Some madagacar lesser hedgehog tenrecs were looking for a good home, and we decided to offer that to them. Initially we adopted two ladies, but they turned out to be.. not alone. So now we have 11 of these fascinating creatures to care for. First thing we did, was get/build them a large enough enclosure. This turned out to be 5,5ftx4,5ft and 3ft deep. Since these strange creatures, very unlike their name suggests, climb like spiderman, we decided to build the enclosure in two levels, featuring hollow branches through and over which they can climb. We never expected them to scale the cork back, but they do exactly that.

I should probably be aware of this sculpture already, but this is the first I've seen it. TFS.
