Beginning of Spring!
Today is the beginning of Spring and everything is fresh picked and baked. The swallows have returned.
Wishing all TFLoafers a beautiful day!

It's snowing here , just outside of Kansas City. But, even though our Jayhawks lost, the pizza for tonight's supper was a great success. There's always another loaf to bake and next year's season. Much to look forward to.
to enjoy the first day of spring!
Hi from Australia, the land down under,
It's approaching our Autumn(your Fall I think) here. Our date is for the Autumn change is 4/1/10.
Although your pie looks to be a lovely summer dish I'm still going to try it in the colder seasons. Thankyou for sharing..........Pete
Your welcome, Pete! The best thing about buttermilk pie is it's always in season!

We've had a huge snowfall on the first day of Spring.... unreal! But I guess now we are headed to "real" Springtime
(loved your photos)
I'm glad the photos brought a little cheer of what is soon to come your way!

Hi Sylvia,
Maybe that is the reason for the seasons. Buttermilk pie all year round.
I googled buttermilk pie as I have not heard of it before. The volume of recipes I saw surprised me as I use Buttermilk for various areas of cooking, bread, pancakes etc and a lot of my Australian friends are stunned with what you can do with it. Especially when it comes to chicken pieces coated with it, then crumbed and baked. A very under valued cooking product I feel.
We in Australia would just use milk baked into a custard as you have done with the buttermilk in your pie. Otherwise I would not have thought of using B/Milk. I'm eager to try it.
Again thanks for sharing................Pete
Spring-I know it's spring because my arugula and lettuce have completely bolted this week. Arugula is blooming with beautiful white blooms. It's almost inedible. It rained all day today. This is pretty unusual for Arizona this time of year.
We're thinking of moving to North Texas, Gainesville area. I guess they had snow today. That's pretty weird this time of year too!
I love spring. My favorite time of year. Even when the weather turns south for a day, you know everything is going, well, you know, North. As in, it's going to get nicer, and prettier. The only thing is, I haven't adjusted to AZ. I think I'm going to get happy and excited about spring and then the awful summer is just around the corner. Uggh!
Buttermilk pie? Hmm. Don't really like buttermilk but it sort of sounds good in a pie. I like sweet and sour mixed together. Might just have to try this. Intrigueing.
I spent most life in the desert and it can be so beautiful. I love the warm summer nights, no bugs to really bother you...I wouldn't lay on my lawn here or run around barefoot at night but I would in the desert. Buttermilk..I don't like to just drink it..but you will be very surprised how great it tastes in pie cooked up like a custard...Oh so delicious! If I see anything with buttermilk baked in it I know I will love it..from cornbread to cakes to pies! I hope you give it a try.

Your pictures are lovely. That pie looks REALLY good. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Thank you! I should have put in a sliced photo...to late now... : )
