Cherry pie weather


The weather here in Ohio is getting quite chilly, which is having an impact on our eating habits. Though I traditionally still grill meat outside on the gas grill a couple times a week year round, I have been looking for excuses to stay inside to prepare dinner. Last week I even cooked a ham dinner on a Wednesday. Last night though I had planned on grilled chicken with roasted red potatoes, which , though appetizing was just not sounding as good as it should. This is when I remembered the sour cherries that I bought when they were in season back in the first week of August. Due to a busy schedule, I froze these cherries and forgot about them. Well since the oven was already hot I decided that warm cherry pie ala mode was in order.Though the pie was baking while we ate dinner and cooling while Mike and Michael ran some errands after, it was a wonderful warm before bedtime snack. I just hope that nobody gets used to such deliciousness being served every night like this.
