OK, so we didn't elope! It was a near thing though. So now things are a little more settled and it's back to doing one thing at a time.
In case you didn't know, we are having wedding pies instead of a wedding cake (I've never really been a cake kind of guy). So we've been sampling pies all over the place. At the start I wanted to get them from the Lincoln Diner in Gettysburg; their pies are great! But it's kind of a hike. There's the Woodmoor Bakery in Silver Spring which does great eclairs as well, but also a hike. We tried Dangerously Delicious Pies in DC and Mom's Apple Pie in Occoquan VA and we've decided to go to Mom's in Occoquan! Saturday we're going down there to order 10 or 12 pies (should we go 10 or 12 slices per pie? hmm?) to pick up the day before the wedding. I'm thinking blueberry (my favorite), lemon meringue, apple crumb, apple pecan crumb, coconut cream, cherry, apple walnut, winterberry (cranberry/apple/blueberry), and ... and ... and.
Frank, being more of a cake person than me, is going to get a 7 layer caramel cake from Caroline's Cakes (http://www.carolinescakes.com/). Caroline's caramel is REALLY good. It's a diabetes epidemic all by itself. So we're ordering one of those (and maybe a red velvet) for Frank.
With all of those desserts, who needs a meal?!
(Did I mention there are only 1, 366, 700 some seconds left until the wedding?)
