Hello My Pie Peeps!!:)
I haven't really blogged in a while...:) I am starting some new things with this blog. I hope you like them!! Oh, and by the way do you like the new set-up on the blog? The collage is all about Kemmy's!
St. Patrick's Day is on Saturday, and have you guys tried the newest Kemmy's pies? If you haven't had them yet, you can get them at J.D. Redhouse, Redwood Valley Market, Hoppers Corner Store, in Potter Valley, Wetside Renaissance Market, and Ukiah Natural Foods Co-op. Yummy Corn Beef and Cabbage Savory Pie and Irish Cream Custard! If you tried them we would love to hear your feedback. Post on our Facebook Wall, or if you have a blog, comment on this post. Thanks! Oh, and just a heads up...there will be no savory/pot pies delivered Friday, or the following week. Kemmy's Crew will be back to baking them 03/26. In the mean time, we hope you still enjoy our fruit pie selection. Did you know that we have 30 different varieties of sweet pies???
I don't know if you guys know this, but if you look on the right hand corner you can click on the "follow by email" link and then type you're email. When you press enter you have to write this word they give you, to "help prevent spam" and then when you go and check your email and click on the link, you will then get updates on our newest blogs and photos! You may already be doing this, but if not I just thought I would give you a tutorial on how to do it!:)
Wondering how our pie baking went today??? Well, Wednesday is one of Kemmy's largest pie baking days, and today was bigger than ever!! Their morning started at 6 am, but I heard they had a rough time getting started. We had several unexpected friends show up to chat with my family. Oh, and my Aunt Janice drove up to be with my family! We are soooo happy to have her here with us, right now!!! Today was an exceptionally beautiful rainy day! However, the rain does make it a bit difficult when delivering pies. AND with all that happened, I was 2 MINUTES late for ballet!!!! I mean, come on now...couldn't they just have finished a LITTLE bit earlier????? Ahaha, guess I will have to learn to be more flexible when it comes to ballet. So, anyways now that ballet is over, I thought I would finish my blog.
Want to know what I do in my spare time?? OR what kind of music is playing when everyone is working?
Now watching: While You Were Sleeping
TV Show of the week: America's Next Top Model: British INVASION! (So loving it)!

Kemmy's Newest
Hello Pie Lovers!!!
Busy times for Kemmy’s Kitchen. Maybe you have noticed that Kemmy’s Pies have been delivered later than usual. Two weeks ago, Amy had to be rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery! As much sadness this brings me, she has been utterly sick, and unable to bake pies. She has stayed home and rested and recovered her strength...wherever it had gone, it is obviously on it’s way back! Which brings warmth to my heart. While she has been home, I have been keeping her company while I do my schoolwork. She says that I am a very good sister.
Have you figured out what our newest pie "Kreation" is?... Well March is all about St. Patrick's Day! And we will have, not one but two new pies!!! Coming out this Friday...:)
Remember one of Kemmy's 2012 goals was to bake 5 days a week? Well, they have almost achieved that goal! Thursday has now become one of the baking days...!:) Check out the newest stores to sell Kemmy's Pies!
Our coastal route now includes:
Westport Market.
Harvest Market.
Corners of the Mouth, in Mendocino.
Cleone Groceries.
Not pictured is Howard Creek Inn. As well as Pour Girls Coffee, in Laytonvile.
Hope you had fun reading my newest blog!

Other Histories of Pie
Good Morning Pie Lovers!
Valentines Day is over, and Kemmy's is already planning their newest pie! Can you guess what it is???:) Here is a hint...What is the next holiday???
Today, I am showing you more pie history, that you would never even think was true!
The history of pie is rich in flavor! Pies have been around for thousands of years. We know this, since the ancient Egyptians kept records of their practices and pie is included there; along with all the mysteries and charm of those long ago days. The Egyptians would fill their pies with such ingredients as honey, fruit and nuts. The visitors to Egypt learned as many of their secrets as possible. The ancient Greeks were also some of the first to create the pastry dough. Romans soon caught on and were able to learn some recipes from the Greeks. The Roman people thought enough of the pie to make offerings of it to their deities. Since then the rich history of pie has grown while traveling to many different lands, and many people still enjoy pie.
Did you know that pie was originally a simple cooking and serving container fashioned of dough for containing, cooking, and preserving the enclosed ingredient as well as their juices? When a pie had a crust, it was at that time known as a coffin, although pies with no crust were known as traps. Large, short-sided pies and tarts and very small pies are tartlets. When someone made a pie of some type of bird, he or she would leave the legs of the bird outside the edge of the pie and used the legs for handles.
Original pies had a very hard crust and were very often to difficult to be eaten. The crust of the pie was used mainly for baking the pie as there were no pie pans back then. Think primitive pottery here...at times it was also known as bulletproof dough.
Pies made their way to England and soon showed up in America with the first colonial settlers. They brought along cottage and shepherds pie. From the American natives, the pilgrims learned the many healthy fruits and berries. Women at that time conserved their rations by making round pies and shallow pies. During the 1700s, pie first saw one of its best celebrating moments while gaining popularity in many homes, picnics and fairs. Many people have enjoyed pie eating contests or pie throwing games. Pies and their recipes have traveled a very long way from where they began to this present day.
As pie has moved along through the years, it has been adapted to fit into every culture it has touched. We enjoy pie today made of many different ingredients, such as meats of beasts, fowl and fish, vegetables, berries, fruit and nuts as well as cheese, custards and creams of many flavors. Many generations have seen the passing down of family pie recipes and many are still secret today. An assortment of many different sweet and savory seasonings and ingredients are in included in pies. The smell of a pie baking can bring back fond memories of family and friends as well as build new ones. In homes the world over, someone will be baking a pie, while someone is savoring the wonderful aromas that make home so sweet. I love pie so much that I think everyone should enjoy some pie every day. -Brenda Moss

Citrus!:)
Good Morning Pie Lovers!
It’s citrus time!! Mom, Amy and Katie went and completely stripped my grandparents' organic fruit trees, last weekend. Delicious citrusy lemons, and amazing fruity tangelos. Exeter, California (where my grandparents live) is known for it's abundant supply of citrus, deciduous fruits, nuts and table grapes. This is also the town where my mom went to high school and met my father!
What better way to say I love you for Valentines than a pie! Kemmy’s newest "Kreation," is a Raspberry Cordial. Raspberries soaked in wine and laced in dark chocolate. All it’s missing is a diamond for that special someone! This pie is perfect for your king or queen of hearts. Pie Love You!

Some of you may still be wondering what type of vegetable shortening Kemmy’s uses. Well it’s called Spectrum (palm oil.) The crust is made of a combination of shortening and butter. Something the French called Pâte Brisée.
The first pies were very simple and generally of the savory (meat and cheese) kind. Flaky pastry fruit-filled turnovers appeared in the early 19th century. Some pie-type foods are made for individual consumption. These portable pies...Pasties, turnovers, empanadas, pierogi, calzones...were enjoyed by working classes and sold by street vendors. Pie variations (cobblers, slumps, grunts, etc.) are endless!
The Oxford English Dictionary traces the first use of the word “pie” as it relates to food all the way back to 1303. It noted the word was well-known and popular by 1362.
Have you noticed that their are ads on our page?? I've gotten so many VIEWS on my blog, that google is putting ads on !!! Click on them and find many helpful things, if you like. Please note, none of these ads are viruses:)
Kemmy’s catered a woman’s convention, last weekend. Friday night was a Ice Cream social. We decided to use our sauce from Brandy Apple Nutty Maples pie, as an ice cream topper. It tasted amazing on top of vanilla ice cream, with slivered almonds and chocolate chips:) Saturday morning breakfast consisted of Belgium waffles, fresh fruit, bagels w/ our popular cranberry cream cheese spread. Also, a vegetarian frittata, ham and cheese frittata, and a sausage one! For lunch, they made roasted chicken, scalloped potatoes, green beans, lemon bars, brownies, and caramel apple short bread brownies. AND to top it all off, I was invited to perform a dance for the spiritual part of this event. I danced to the song "Only Hope. " It was so much fun, and I hope all of the ladies enjoyed my dance.
