The Semblance of Pie

[plaidninja]

The first pie crust I made yesterday had too much water, so I had to start over. The second pie crust I made was dropped on the floor as it came out of the oven, so it went in the garbage. The third pie crust I made was ugly and didn't hold together very well when served, but it looked and tasted like pie and that was all it needed to do.

so true
my grandmother made the best pie crusts and no one in the family knows quite what all she did to make them so wonderful, other than tons of lard of course.

Apparently my Dad's mother made great pie crusts but she died of cancer when I was quite young, so I don't have any memories of them.

I hate that for you.
I had both of my grandmothers well into my 30's and they were such important parts of my life. I was very blessed in that regard.
