The Littlest Pie Shop in Baja; A Big Tart goes Patriotic

Hello Pie Eaters, Makers, and Fans!  It's been some time since the last WannaBePieChef posted, so here's a Double Issue for your delight.
This 2014 I visited what is indeed the littlest and perhaps only of its kind in Baja California, Ette's Pies in the town of Loreto, B.C.S., Mexico.  Ette's Pies makes handmade pies daily, and supplements the menu with Muffins, Cakes, and cookies.  This is perhaps the cutest pie shop in all of Mexico, and certainly unique to Baja.  The owner is Paulette Gochie, and we can raise a coffee cup to her pies which are as pleasing and delicious as they come.

A Big Tart from Porto's Bakery and Café was a special for the 4th of July holiday in Glendale, California and we were lucky to pick up the last one.  Made from strawberries, blueberries and pears, and a vanilla creme, it was devoured in under a minute by a party of world cup fanatics before you could say 'Goooooooooooooool' !!!
