Day one hundred and eighty-five: This morning I found that the remaining cherries I bought at the market a couple days ago were very ripe and needed to be eaten. I immediately thought about making a pie. There wasn’t enough fruit for a full one, so I added some nectarine, blueberries, and strawberries, which is why the pie filling has so many colors. Pastry baking is something that comes pretty naturally to me, and it was easier for me to make the lattice-top crust than to paint it. My reward for sketching the pie was the chance to try a piece, which I’m eating even as I write this. A delicious way to celebrate the 4th of July.
