This Week in Pie Making

It's still too early for seasonal fruits in the Mid-Atlantic, so your pie maker has been working through the back half of Ken's magnificent book. This week's was the Canadian Maple Sugar Pie, which is delicious. Elsewhere, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced a very pie-friendly approach to invasive species management: put a fork in it, this time for the snake head. Meanwhile, Springfield Butcher, a good shop in Northern Virginia, is taking a direct approach to providing organic, grass fed meat and dealing with an overpopulation problem.
