Vodka Pie Crust Recipe
Recipes are a guide to making great food. Recipes are a great place to start to making dinner, or in this case, pie.
On Independence day, our friend Ann took advantage of the amazing blueberry crop this year and made a blueberry pie to die for! It was the best crust she has made and ranks at the top of most memorable pies ever! She says it all has to do with vodka! (I wonder if you added a little black ginger syrup to the vodka what might happen?)

Hardneck Garlic
Tasty, easy peal, cloves of giant proportions
Garlic is known in legends, as well as in practical life, as a healer and cure-all for many ailments. For improving ones health, including coronary heart disease, high blood pressure and various fungal infections.
I am not sure if these medicinal claims are true, but as a tasty ingredient it is one of my favorites — and essential in so many recipes. Hated by many, but loved by more. Its popularity has spawned thousands of restaurants with the word "garlic" in their name.
Health claims aside, science has tried but has not been able to disprove that garlic repels vampires. It does appear, however, that a clove a day will keep mosquitoes at bay!
Our hardneck garlic is almost ready to pulled out of the ground. Then it will dry and dry before it is ready to ship. We already have a crop report. Less or none of certain varieties this year.

"For the breadth and quality of its offerings, nothing equals ChefShop.com. In addition to well-chosen examples of an Italian kitchen's staples... there are excellent products from other parts of the world and, in season, fresh salmon from the Northwest, plus an item that has all but disappeared from neighborhood markets, genuinely tree-ripened, sugary fruits."
