New potatoes, new peas, bathed in a creamy white sauce with spring onions and slivers of succulent Easter ham.
Fresh strawberry pie. With cream. That refused to whip, but tasted divine nonetheless.

Do you use a regular pie crust for your strawberry pie or do you have a recipe (as I do) that is only for strawberry pie crust?
I use a shortbread crust. I use it for some other fruit pies too - mainly when I'm feeling too rushed or too lazy :)
You're post is making my mouth water! What a simple, fresh meal... and that pie -- swoon!
You've mentioned "white sauce" in several posts. I'm assuming this is a cream/butter based sauce and not a cheese sauce. I would love to know your recipe as well as what all you serve it with.
Christian, it's the classic white sauce: make a roux with 2 Tbs. butter, 2 Tbs. flour, add 1 c. milk and stir over low heat until thickened. In this recipe, the pot likker from the potatoes and peas is used as part of the liquid.
I don't think I use white sauces overly much - I'm not a real fan of making them! - and I look for recipes for mac n cheese and gratins that don't use white sauces for that reason.
I'll see if there's enough content/curiosity here to make a post out of it :)
