You leave down here the month of July, you won't be able to find your house when you get back.

Love the look of that blueberry pie! How did you make that crust? Recipe please!

I use the basic pie crust from SeriousEats. Simple, make a double recipe and freeze
for four future tarts..

Much better fresh than frozen but I don't bake much. We have just four desserts we
make in a bi-monthly rotation. JuliaChild's Clafouti, Creme Brûlée, ChocPecanPie, and
this fruit tart in the summer months.
Most would not like this but I use no sugar, just the blueberries, a scant tbsp of quick
Tapioca, sprig of thyme leaves, lemon zest and pepper/salt. Crumb on top is Pankobread crumbs and Avocado oil to wet it, a tiny glug of MapleSyrup.

I do the same with raspberries, or a mixed fruit tart. Rhubarb/strawberry the same as
strawberries are so sick sweet.
No recipe really except the pastry part.

I think the drip irrigation is working fine. Just would be adjusted if I had been home.
If one dripper out of 30 works itself loose, it effects the flow of others. That would be
caught if tending and looking daily or even twice a week.
