My mother was quite a good pie-maker, but I never took the time to learn. There's a knack to it. If the Pillsbury crusts are good, I'd use those, like you do. Didn't you say you have some sort of pie-making device?
Another vote here for Pillsbury pie crusts. I'd never make pies if I had to make the crust from scratch.

DR Dan, does DC Minny bring you presents (of the rodent variety)?
Ah, here's our new DR. Dan M, did you lurk here for a bit before joining? You seem familiar with our HHWisms.

Quote from: Jeanne on February 02, 2014, 01:35:27 PMDR Dan, does DC Minny bring you presents (of the rodent variety)?He has brought me birds, lizards and even (sorry to say) small bunnies. He has even tried to catch snakes for me. I have learned that this is the cat's way of "feeding" you and taking care of you just as you have of the cat. So, I thank Minny for caring for me even though the presents aren't what I want. I must remember that he doesn't know how to shop at Amazon!
W are back from Alabama and now I only have 7 states to visit to complete all 50. We drove part of the scenic road through Talladega National Forest and then through the University of West Georgia when we returned to Carrollton. Perry and Pam both teach there.

All my cats have followed me around like a dog, admittedly some more than others I did, too. You followed Jane around like a dog ? LOL REALLY?I was thinking the same thing.

In honor of Groundhog Day I'm wondering about P. Phil's lifestyle. I presume that groundhogs usually live in the ground, yet every time we see P. Phil he's clean and well-groomed. I believe he must live above ground, probably in a cage, and isn't really representative of groundhogs in general. Wouldn't that negate his observational skills?

I think of pie-making as very time-consuming, but perhaps it doesn't need to be.Even my apple pies weren't that time consuming. Just peeling and cutting up the apples. Once that was done it was just mixing the stuff together and putting it in the crust. I never realized how easy it is to make pies. Now, they aren't the fabulous specialty pies, but they are good. I'm sort of sorry I found out how easy they are to make, lol
