It's Strawberry Time on the prairie
And I'm on my second flat
They are so good,
so sweet,
so red
And with these sweet local strawberries
I wonder why I ever buy the ones in the store!
Friday I used part of them to make a pie
A fresh strawberry pie
The recipe I've had before my marriage
It was always served at lunch counters and tea rooms and cafeterias
at strawberry time . . . and only at strawberry time
I make at least one a year
With our local berries.
Friday, we were meeting friends for dinner
And then they were coming back to Linderhof
for dessert and coffee,
hence the pie.
And Friday afternoon, when I took my tea
In the breakfast room
(Sometimes I indulge myself with a Spode teapot
instead of the crockery one)
tea for me!
And the tea treat
Pie Crust
I'm sure it has a fancier name but that's what we called it.
The little scrapes leftover from a pie,
buttered, sugared and cinnamoned
And baked along with the pie.
As a child, I think I liked the "pie crust" better than the
dinner pie!
And it was as good as I remembered
With a pot of Earl Grey,
the warm cinnamon sugary buttery pie crust was perfect!
And I didn't even tell Husband Jim that it was tea time
I didn't share!
And after dinner at our favorite local restaurant, Crooners,
we came back to Linderhof
for coffee
and slices of that strawberry pie
topped with a big blob of whipped cream
and a perfect strawberry!
It's Tuesday and I'm sharing with:
Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday
Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for Inspire Me Tuesday

Martha, Your pie looks fantastic! You are such a good cook, and a gracious hostess. Your friends are very fortunate. :)
Yum! Our strawberries won't be in season until July. They're always late here but do we enjoy them when they're here! I make a strawberry pie once in a while. Hubby is funny though; he'd prefer just a bowl of berries, sugar, and cream to any fancy dessert. I like a variety myself.
My mother used to do that with her left over pie crusts too and I have done it myself a few times when my guys were growing up. It is good. Love that Spode teapot! Thank you for sharing and joining me for tea and Happy Memorial Day!
Blessings,
Sandi

Looks delicious!!!
My Grandmother and Mom made these treats for the children. They rolled the scraps flat in a circle then buttered, and sugared and sprinkled cinnamon. Then they rolled the dough and cut about an inch thick. They called them bumblebees. Thanks for the sweet memory of making pies with Gram!
