Reading Beer&Cider Festival!(Drunk Drunk) 醉了啤酒節

I went to Reading Beer & Cider Festival yesterday. Thanks to my lovely friend Pei who invited me to go with her!! This year was the 5th year of this drunken event!!! Woo!!! Here is the link: Reading Beer and Cider Festival 2012


As it says on the website, there were over 500 real ales and 200 ciders and perries. There were 2 big tents and a big outdoor area containing different food stands and performers.



 Every beer stand was so busy !!!


The glass cost £3 to hire but it is refundable. I kept mine though, as a souvenir! 
There are lines on the glass to mark a pint or 1/2 pint but according to my friend Eric, who has attend the event since 2008, his glass even has a 1/3 pint line! Lucky him!!!

Honey Glazed Berry Pie! 甜甜蜂蜜莓果派 !



I made this sweet dessert pie for my lovely editor Edwards last Wednesday. It was so delicious! First, I blind baked the Pate Sucree tart case, then I filled it with Creme Chantilly and topped it with honey glazed berries!! So easy and so yummy! I ate two slices in one night! GOSH!
(趁著晚上有空做了這個蜂蜜莓果派!酸酸甜甜真的很好吃! 在這裡跟大家分享喔! 當然拉!我的神祕編輯愛德華先生也是心花怒放囉!嘿嘿)


I altered the Creme Chantilly recipe from school a bit so I've put my version here. I cannot write the recipe for the tart case here as it will infringe on the schools copywrite but it is really simple, all you need is some pastry and you can blind bake it to prevent it rising!

Here is the creme chantilly recipe for a 7" pie!
