DOUBLE-CRUSTED FRESH CHERRY PIE

RECIPE CREATED BY JOY THE BAKER EXCLUSIVELY FOR NORDSTROM

Makes 1 9" pie

For the crust:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon buttermilk

For the filling:
4 cups pitted fresh cherries
5 tablespoons cornstarch
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
Juice of half a lemon
Dash of almond extract
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 egg, beaten with 2 tablespoons water
Granulated sugar for topping

FOR THE CRUST:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks, 8 ounces) cold unsalted butter
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon cold buttermilk

TO MAKE THE CRUST:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and, using your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture. 

Quickly break the butter down into the flour mixture. Some butter pieces will be the size of oat flakes; some will be the size of peas. Create a well
in the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. 

Use a fork to bring the dough together. Try to moisten all of the flour bits. On a lightly floured  work surface, dump out the dough mixture. It will be moist and shaggy. That’s perfect. Divide
the dough in two and gently knead into two disks. 

Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for
1 hour. Allowing the dough to rest in the refrigerator will help rechill the butter and distribute
the moisture.
TO MAKE THE FILLING:
Gently stir together the cherries, cornstarch, sugar, salt, lemon and almond extract in a large bowl.

TO ROLL OUT THE PIECRUST:
On a well-floured surface, roll the bottom crust
1/8" thick and about 12" in diameter. Transfer it to a pie pan. Trim the edge almost even with the  edge of the pan.
Roll out the top crust in the same manner.
Use a small heart-shape cookie cutter to cut a vent hole in the top crust.
Spoon filling into piecrust. Dot the filling with the bits of cold butter.
Top with crust. Fold both layers of pie dough under and crimp with a fork or your finger. 

TO FINISH:
Place a rack in the center of the oven and
preheat oven to 400º F. Line a baking sheet  with parchment paper and set aside.
Brush the egg wash over piecrust, then
sprinkle with sugar.
Place pie on baking sheet and bake for 15  minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake the pie for 40 to 45 minutes more, or  until the crust is golden and the cherry filling is
bubbling. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before serving.

Caution Residents on Handling Raccoons and Other Wildlife

City & Country Pest Control, Toronto’s Leading Pest Control and Wildlife Removal Company, Cautions Residents on Handling Raccoons and Other Wildlife

 City & Country Pest Control (www.cityandcountrypestcontrol.com), the leader in residential, industrial, and commercial pest eradication and humane wildlife and bird removal, cautions residents of the Greater Toronto Area about handling raccoons and other wildlife.

“While there is no official count, the Ministry of Natural Resources estimates there are as many as 100 raccoons per square kilometre in Toronto. At roughly 641 square kilometres, that translates into 641,000 raccoons,” says Horacio Parreira, owner of City & Country Pest Control. “It should be no surprise to learn that Toronto has also been dubbed the unofficial raccoon capital of the world. And summertime is their active season.” (Sources: thegridto.com, “Midnight Marauders,” June 12, 2013; http://www.thegridto.com/city/local-news/midnight-marauders/; cbc.ca, “Raccoon Nation,” April 21, 2013; http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/natureofthings/2011/raccoonnation/.)

While many residents in the Greater Toronto Area may see raccoons as pests and want to get rid of them, due to Ministry of Natural Resource guidelines and the fact they can be quite unpredictable, aggressive, and carry rabies, removal should be left to trained pest control professionals.
Raccoons may have adapted well to city life in Toronto, but that doesn’t mean people can take matters into their own hands, says Horacio. In fact, doing so could lead to fines and charges: earlier this spring, a Toronto man pled guilty to a charge of cruelty to animals for hitting several raccoons with a shovel. After 19 court appearances before the Crown, he was given a conditional discharge that included 100 hours of community service at a humane society shelter. He also had to pay $1,365 to a local wildlife centre, where one of the raccoons he hit was treated for a broken leg. (Source: thestar.com, article, “Man who attacked raccoons with a shovel pleads guilty,” March 12, 2013;

http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2013/03/12/man_who_attacked_raccoons_with_shovel_pleads_guilty_to_animal_cruelty.html.)

“When it comes to animals we consider pests, it’s important to remember that it’s illegal to fire a gun in Toronto. And any form of lethal force must be humane,” Horacio adds. Ministry of Natural Resources guidelines state that using body gripping traps can result in provincial charges with fines up to $5,000, and placing poison out to kill animals can result in criminal charges.” (Toronto, “Wildlife in the city: Raccoons,” http://www.toronto.ca/animal_services/raccoon.htm, last accessed July 31, 2013.)
The experts at City & Country Pest Control recommend proactive measures, including not feeding raccoons, trimming back trees located close to houses, using metal or durable plastic trash contains, and manicuring property to eliminate debris and shelter. But while these methods can help keep raccoons at bay, they might not keep them away entirely.

“When it comes to raccoons, the two most important components are removal and keeping them from returning,” Horacio concludes. “At City & Country Pest Control, we humanely solve raccoon and wildlife problems in the Greater Toronto Area and animal-proof your home or business.”
Fully licensed by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and fully insured, City & Country Pest Control has been successfully providing pest eradication and humane animal and bird removal for residential, commercial, and industrial clients since 1989.

Wednesdays in Etobicoke

 - Farmer's Market at Montgomerys Inn Wednesdays

http://365etobicoke.com/montgomerys-inn/

When you think of landmarks, Paris’ Eiffel Tower and Rome’s Colosseum come to mind.Etobicoke? We have the historical Montgomery’s Inn.

While not as world-famous as the previously mentioned landmarks, Montgomery’s Inn is still culturally significant to Etobicoke. Built in 1832 by Thomas and Margaret Montgomery, the inn is located at 4709 Dundas Street West (corner of Islington and Dundas) and served as a meeting place for the community and offered food and shelter for travelers. The inn operated until 1850, shortly after Margaret died and thanks to the foresight of Etobicoke’s citizens, Montgomery’s Inn was saved from demolition numerous times and now serves as a museum for Etobicoke and the City of Toronto.

Visitors can take guided or self-guided tours, walking through the family’s sitting room, to the meeting hall upstairs, and through the open-hearth kitchen. Although the inn contains many Montgomery artifacts not all of them are from the original time period. Still, you can’t help but feel like you’ve stepped through a time machine to yesteryear.

Aside from serving tea and snacks each afternoon, Montgomery’s Inn also hosts numerous events throughout the year such as a weekly farmers market each Wednesday afternoon as well as hosting a production of Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew”. Rooms are also available for rent for your own gatherings.

If you’ve never been to Montgomery’s Inn make it a point to visit this great site in the near future. We should all take pride in Etobicoke’s roots.
