Our family friend Rob Bard has written an amusing book titled My Dog Ate My Bird . When I told my son Mark about Rob’s book he said, “I remember that!”
You might remember a post featuring Rob when he was judging pie.
Rob wrote then- On Saturday is the Amateur Division and these are the best. These pies are made by people like you and me. They are made with love and they are truly your “homemade” pies. I love judging that day. With over 900 pies entered, judges are divided up and we sample just a certain type of pie. There are 18 categories. I try to always select the cherry pie, my favorite. The most pies I have ever judged was 28 different cherry pies over 2 days.
Sunday is the Professional Division and these are just that. This category are those individuals that have “made a living” selling pies and the professional pastry chefs.
I have met some nice people along the way. Pie has a way of bringing people together.
Rob’s also been featured in the blog’s Gallery of Veterans. We met him when he was stationed at Ft. Knox Kentucky and our eldest sons were classmates in elementary school.
My copy has been ordered.
Congratulations Rob!
