Our daughter’s greatest struggle right now is, “I know I want to be a pastry chef, but I also want to be a swimmer and musician. I know I can play guitar on the side, but I doubt culinary schools will have swim teams. Maybe I can find a local swim team in the town where my culinary school is.” And so on. She is 9.
Regardless of what she will ultimately choose for her life’s course, I am more than willing to encourage all three. Especially the pastry chef idea. So today, I helped her make her first pie.
May this be the first of many.

My daughter is the same age. She has got the art of being a pain, hormonal, emotional, stroppy, moody, skills down to a T! She has done the music lessons, swimming, she is at brownies at the moment. Your daughter sounds great! Good luck to her on any of her ventures! god bless x
Haha, that’s great. Better to have too much ambition than none at all at that age
My youngest is 9, such a great age….with so many dreams.
So, mesh is having problems right now so I’ll check back later. I love making my own apple pies! The more bakers, the better!
Hrm, the Mesh isn’t working. I’m dying to troubleshoot that but I’m on my phone. 😀
Anyway, your post reminded me of this PBS show I watched just a few days ago, all about pie: http://video.pbs.org/program/a-few-good-pie-places/
You are a good mom to encourage any ideas she comes up with. The pie looks yummy.
The pie looks great! By the way, I never knew that there existed an instrument to core and peel an apple like that!
