My husband turned 39 yesterday, so we made him a pie. My daughter had some thoughts about what kind of pie we should make. The conversation went like this:<\/p>\n

Gem: I want to make Daddy a cherry pie for his birthday<\/span>
Me: I just bought ingredients for coconut cream pie, because it’s his favorite<\/span>
Gem: I think Daddy wants cherry<\/span>
Me: Did you ask him?<\/span>
Gem: Daddy, do you want a surprise?<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Such is my life. For the record, we\u00a0ended up making the pie I planned on, and she got away with being cute. It’s a kind of win-win. And, she was a great help in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

The Dahlia Lounge<\/a> has the best coconut cream pie in Seattle. Maybe anywhere. Aaron and I are big fans.<\/p>\n

I was so thrilled to find that Tom Douglas<\/a> and his team\u00a0published the recipe for their Dahlia Triple Coconut Cream Pie in the Dahlia Bakery Cookbook: Sweetness in Seattle<\/a>. \u00a0This cookbook is a great teaching cookbook. It’s more than just recipes, and it covers the how and why of techniques, so you really learn how to cook rather than just how to follow directions.<\/p>\n

That was the pie I made for Aaron’s birthday. And it was amazing.<\/p>\n

Happy birthday, my love. You are a wonderful husband and father, and we love you. I hope 39 is an awesome year for you.<\/p>\n
