Beans for Blind Baking
A particular accomplishment is being celebrated today – Constance is baking a special dessert, but because it is mid-week, she is taking a few short cuts!
Gale’s Lemon Curd
English Lemon Curd in pre-baked pie shells must be almost the easiest dessert ever!
Lemon pie with the Queen
Today we are celebrating the longest reigning Monarch Britain has ever had. Surpassing Queen Victoria’s previous record, as of about 17:30 BST Queen Elizabeth II will have reigned approximately 23,226 days, 16 hours and 30 minutes. Her Majesty declined to make a fuss, but Constance felt like celebrating!

It’s always a pleasure to view the celebrations that the QH household holds.
There is always something interesting going on somewhere! The Hitty cupboard just likes to help!
We all need an excuse for partying and pie baking!
I agree – Pie may be the real staff of life!
How splendid! I didn’t realize such a landmark was approaching. Enjoy the dessert!
Constance wishes her pinkie finger could stick out so that she could drink her tea more elegantly…but nothing will detract from enjoyment of her lemon pie!
Just breathing is an excuse for Lemon Curd! This milestone should indeed be celebrated – Elizabeth’s quite a woman with quite a lifetime’s experiences.
The Hitty cupboard agrees with you about Lemon Curd! It is a most satisfying substance, I wonder if the Hittys left any little pies for me…
What a lovely way to celebrate Her Majesty 🙂 She’s a grand one!
Constance is glad to celebrate Her Majesty’s achievement, though H.M. says it was not one to which she ever aspired.
a perfect celebration for such a milestone. As always Constance is our arbiter of good taste!
It is a milestone! Just imagine 63+ years at the same job! We think any celebratory tea should include lemon pie!
I am loving your life with the Hittys. You are so creative.

Thanks – we do have fun (and eat well!) in the Quimper Hitty household!
I’m sure all the Hittys will enjoy the pies and their tea. H.M. is remarkable.
