![]() We find the organic kind has much better taste, probably because their cherries are actually ripe. And yes, the cherries also taste really good! I not only fed six hungry people for coffee at my house with this pie, but also my neighbors with a slice, too and had two pieces to spare for the husband and I to enjoy the next day! It’s also really easy to make this pie in a vegan version – and equally as rich and delicious!Īlso, if you feel like this pie, but want to have it without all the work and the sin, I suggest eating cherries right out of the freezer: best guilt-free indulgence out there! Just be sure to purchase the kind that actually tastes good, there are huge differences. It’s a huge celebration in carbohydrates, sugar and fat. Pie just makes everything better! Gluten-free Vanilla Cream Cherry-Pie with Almond StreuselĮveryone can use a break and a little something sweet – not just on Sundays! If you make this: spread the love. ![]() But I’m determined to get back into the swing of things now, so watch this space for lots of new content! Prepare to chop, grind, boil, cook and bake with me again! The best way to celebrate: PIE!Īnd what better recipe than to start than with a rich and delicious pie, because you know: life is short and sometimes it’s also hard. We love him so much and while we wish he would remind so small and cute forever, we cannot wait to see him grow up, explore the world and unfold his personality.Īnyway, so this explains why I’ve been out of sight from the blog for a couple of months. Like me, he’s a morning person and he fills the days with sunshine. He’s a very happy and healthy baby though and recovered very quickly from the entire ordeal. It was also a lot of work for him and toward the end I am sure he was very, very scared for his life. She really helped shape the atmosphere and ensured that I felt safe and in good hands the entire time.īirth is also very stressful for the babies (we hardly ever talk about this), and so we’re even happier that David did a fantastic job of dealing with the complications and completed his journey into life outside the womb unscathed. My birth midwife was one of the kindest, most empathic and competent people I have ever met. They work a very stressful job with huge responsibility, require a very wholesome set of people skills and get paid very badly. All of it is truly amazing! I’m also very thankful for the advances in female healthcare (we’ve still got lots of work to do!) and for midwives in particular. Don’t be fooled, we perform quite the miracle in making another human and in nurturing it during the days, weeks and months after birth and I truly believe all cultures should appreciate it much more than they do. I have huge respect for all mothers and our bodies. My memory of the day is very fuzzy, but I do know that all the things I thought would matter that day didn’t matter at all and that I lost all sense of time shortly after midnight when the contractions began. We are very happy all went well and that I was able to avert any actual intervention by the doctors, because my husband, my mother, the midwives and the medical team made me give more than even I knew or believed I had in me then (sans PDA or any other serious painkillers – at some point I seriously doubted my decision on this topic, hahahaha). Let’s just say: it took twenty hours, was incredibly painful and in the end it all had to go very fast due to unforeseen complications. I didn’t google or research the topic to death (something I tend to do for everything else – on any other topic I’ll read at least three books), which was also quite beneficial. ![]() I am glad I spent most of my pregnancy not thinking about it too much. Nothing could have prepared me for what happened that day. I could explain all day, and it would still not do the experience justice. But, the process of pregnancy and birth are definitely hard to convey to third parties (particularly men who don’t even have the same anatomy), so I do think it’s really difficult for those of us, who haven’t been a part of the birth process, to fully understand what it’s like. I rarely think there are occurrences in life that you cannot relate to unless you actually live through them yourself, with your own blood and sweat. The act of labor and birth, let me tell you, is quite an adventure. We are thirty six years apart, almost to the minute. Ah, I’ve been absent for so long! So much happened between October and March – how time flies! I’m now not only Gourmari, but also Gourmommy! That’s right: I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on 4 January 2017! ![]()
