NATIONAL CHERRY TURNOVER DAY

National Cherry Turnover Day on August 28 praises a tasty and sweet hand pie. These cherry-filled pastries are best enjoyed hot. However, like any pie, many eat them at room temperature, too. Add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. No doubt your enjoyment will be doubled.

Cherry turnovers are a pastry made by placing a cherry filling on a piece of dough. The dough is folded over and sealed. Then, the individual turnovers are baked or deep-fried for a golden and flaky crust. Tart cherries make the best pies. Since they need added sugar to be palatable, their juices meld with the sugar when baking. The results are tasty perfection!

A turnover a single serving. They fit nicely in a hand, making them portable. Another name for turnover is hand pie. However, we recommend a fork and plate when eating them piping hot.

FUN CHERRY FACTS:

There are more than 1,000 varieties of cherries in the United States.

@oodiebom,

Good evening I am so sorry for your water main break. Oodie I am in the middle of a
thunderstorm here in OZ and we have thousands of people without power. Hubby on
his way from work said several trees are down. Oh Snap!

I am watching and hoping the cats come to eat they hate the storms. I have a clear look
in our security camera.

I miss Posh, Bichon08 and Cherie. 😎🎈💕Those girls were so much fun. Hey what about
our Fairmaiden? I know her husband was real sick and so was she for a while. Faire was funny
and had a great sense of humor. 💕I do my best in the Community I use what I have. 😎

Please check in and let me know how you are doing and be careful if it is raining.
My you had a busy night.

Oodie I have a major sinus headache the pollen count was very high today. Well shizzle!

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening and stay cool and safe. 😎

I also remember the many postings from Cherie and the other person from West Palm area. I sometimes wondered what happened to both and also to Posh. The last we heard from the bichon’s was when they were caring for a friend that had been diagnosed with cancer. Then they seemed to disappear. I just hope they are both OK. Posh was interesting and with her husband working on Broadway, things became real tough during the epidemic crisis. I hope she will return someday but in Community people come and go all the time. Another person I haven’t seen in a while is Nadia (I think that’s her name). She was from the Catskills, an area that hubby and I frequented from time to time. Beautiful mountains and gorgeous scenery. One of the most beautiful drives. This is one reason why we do not take the I-95 corridor.

Still no water and it is approaching 4 pm. . When I arrived home last night, the first thing I did was check the faucets. It was 9:30 pm. No water. Checked e-mail and found a note that the water would be on for about an hour and I surmised I missed it. Then read further and discovered that leaving the water on would not help the situation so they kept it off. So disheartening. I have not been able to do a thing. At the moment I am contemplating a hotel room which means I will need to go about 50 miles from here. Being local, hotels/motels will not give you a room unless you are an out of towner or a hurricane is approaching. Not sure yet what I will do. I assume the people who are working on this will call it a day between 4:30 pm and 5 pm. Thank goodness for bottled water.

What I didn’t mention was that around 6 pm last night we were hit what started as torrential rain that became a giant thunderstorm. The last time I saw this occur was when we were hit with the rain from Ernesto. This lasted a good 45 minutes or so. Going home around 9 pm it was raining again. My car was parked against a curb since everything else was full. Just as I was leaving the alarms went off. The door to hubby’s room was closed. The bell on the wall showed red. I assumed it was a fire drill. I went out to the hallway and found all access doors were closed and the firemen were now entering the building. I headed to the ladies room and by the time I came out everything was back to normal. I left shortly after. I assume it was not a drill. Going home was a different story. There was a lot of water on the roads. No problem. I was able to circumvent the areas without difficulty and arrived home OK. As far as today goes, not sure if I will be seeing hubby. The last note I received is that the worker’s will not be returning home until the water is on. I will definitely find a hotel on the other side of Tampa if need be. I will update when there is something to say. I am absolutely livid……..

@kittengirl,

Good morning Kitten in California thinking of you always. 🎈😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎🎈😘I have the A/C on all week. I am longing for fall. 💕

Just relax today and do as little as possible as you have a lot going on.

Thank you for your prayers as I came very close to being hit. Lady remember when my
relative was hit and ran over by a driver and left there? A Good Samaritan help save
his life by standing over him and getting help. All the construction in the area does not
help.

Stay safe out there. Sending cool hugs to you and Jake. 🎈💕😎🎈

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. 😎🎈I hope your son has a great time during his travels. 💕
If you are packing make sure you have everything.

Wishing you a nice Tuesday. 🎈😎Oz is triple digits. I was lucky on Friday very lucky.

Hey Happy Trails and Travels to you. 😘🎈😎

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Oodie I hope your water main break
is fixed and you have fresh clean water.

Looks like you will have some laundry to do well you are not alone I have the linens to do
today. 😎I believe someone was looking out for me on Friday. I play it back in mind and all
I can see and feel was that fast car. We have too much road construction going on and people
who are not familiar with your area just drives like fools. I am out late at night and never had
a problem good grief.

I hope that itching stops and soon it can be annoying. I am sure you will get to the bottom
of the problem. 😎Oz is in triple digits as I type this post to you. Yikes!

Oodie drive safe out there and watch out for all the road construction. 😎

@xango,

Good day in Sunny Florida and I hope this Tuesday is a nice day for you. 🎈😎

@loaf,

Good day in your corner of the world. 🎈😎
