- Have a 15-month-old child.
- Buy a 2 kg bag of expensive raisins, since they’re cheaper in large quantities.
- Open the bag and use a few.
- Place the opened bag on the bottom shelf of the pantry.
- Leave the pantry door open.
- Discover 15-month-old in a pile of raisins on floor of pantry, happily eating away.
- Cry over spilled raisins.
- Pick up raisins off pantry floor, carefully separating them from onion skins also on pantry floor.
- Wash raisins.
- Look up Raisin Pie recipe on internet.
- Place 15-month-old in high chair next to counter and let her spread flour and raisins around on the counter while you follow raisin pie recipe.
- Roll out pie crust four times before removing 15-month-old from the scene to avoid further pie crust mishaps.
- Bake raisin pie in 220 C oven for 30 minutes. Let cool. Enjoy!

It looks yummy! (and I am not a fan of raisens!)
Too funny! Was it good?
Esme's grandma would be proud of her! i guess each of us has our own version of 'spilled raisens'...
I love raisens and I am sooo hungry right now I want to reach through my screen and eat that pie!
Oh this is so cute!
I once found my kids on the floor of the pantry eating a bag full of chocolate chips. I think raisins are probably better, huh? LOL.
So, was it good? It sure looks and sounds good!
Always something exciting going on with Esme. :)
beautiful pie and sounds like you had quite a time making it...
When life gives you raisins....make a pie! Great philosophy!
