Summerlea Pie Making 2003 - Friday

Note: This page contains a number photos, so it may take a while to load them all.


Friday morning Kathy Worsnip and Rolf Smart arrived by 6 AM to mix meat for the meat pies. The pots were on the stoves by 7 AM and were then stirred continuously while pastry was rolled in Fellowship Hall. Some of the burners seemed slow, taking several hours to reach the boil, so production took longer than anticipated, but some 300+ meat pies were made and in freezers before supper time.

During the four days, pies were transferred from the freezers in the church to other freezers in the area by Richard and Gregory Legault. They also picked up the meat Thursday and Friday evenings. Unfortunately we missed the opportunities to catch them hard at work on camera.
