Big Sky Country begins with B
a nickname tried and true.
Gaze above you to understand,
how a sky can be so grand.
from B is for Big Sky Country: A Montana Alphabet
L is for Little Bighorn,
a somber place indeed,
where warriors and soldiers lost their lives
for causes they believed.

We traveled a little east to get to Montana this week! The girls completed their scrapbook pages, but we did not get around to cooking this week!
Let me just say that this was THE BEST PIE EVER! I do not like blueberry, cherry or any other berry pies, but I LOVED this pie! Huckleberries are so sweet and delicious. The fudge was ok. It was just too sweet for me, but the pie was great.

The girls have gone back and tried to complete the cooking projects for the few states that we skipped. Montana was one of them. We wanted to make huckleberry pie. Huckleberries only grow in the moist mountain area of Glacier National Park Montana. They cannot be commercially grown. Berry pickers hike into the wilderness areas to secure berries each year. We looked into buying a few pounds of huckleberries so we could bake a pie, but the least you could buy was 5 pounds and the shipping was expensive. Then I found www.huckleberypatch.com who ships their pies for a reasonable price. Reasonable as in I can get the pie for cheaper than shipping the fresh berries!!
