Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone! 

I hope you all have a nice long weekend and some tasty Easter treats.

In Honour of Pi Day.

Last week was "Pi Day". I only heard of Pi Day this year, but it is a celebration of the mathematical term 3.14..... To celebrate Pi Day and some personal accomplishments, I decided to bake a lemon pie and had a friend over for tea and pie. I was pleased with how the pie turned out, I was planning to make a heavy cream topping, but realized I didn't have the proper equipment (a electronic hand mixer). Going forward, I am going to try to acquire hand mixer and try out the recipe for a heavy cream topping.

Lemon Pie
1 Store bought crust
1 Shirriff Original Lemon Pie Filling
2 Egg yolks

I usually like to make my own crust, but I do not have the space or materials in my student apartment. this summer I will try to bring back some of my baking tools and will post on pie crusts!

Arnold Palmer.

A few weeks ago I had a friend over and wanted to make a simple, yet delicious drink. Last summer I tried a "drunk Arnold Palmer" at a restaurant and was smitten with it. This version was alcohol free, but could easily be drunken with an ounce of vodka or gin. The recipe is below!

Arnold Palmer Recipe

** Makes 4-6 glasses

1. Black Tea.

          I used Twinnings English Breakfast.

          I let the tea steep for 3 minutes before pouring it over ice.

2. One Litre of Lemonade. 

         Choose from pink or lemon flavour. I used pink and didn't notice a change in flavour.

         I used concentrate here, but I bet it is better fresh. 

3. 16 Frozen Strawberries.

         The strawberries have two purposes: cooling the drinks and sweetening the flavour.

         Add 3-4 strawberries to each cup.

4. 3 Ice Cubes Per Glass.

5. Mix! 

         Add ice to each glass.

         Pour black tea over the ice until glass is half-full (or your desired strength).

         Add frozen strawberries.

         Pour lemonade until the glass is full.

6. Serve and Enjoy.
