I know what you mean about being...Nice looking pie. I know what you mean about being in the mood to make pie crusts. If I'm not in the mood .... forget it the crust is going to be terrible. I'm the same way when it comes to making shortbread at Christmastime. Which reminds me I should get geared up for that task soon.Susan Zutautashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02588313859845367236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724867472090979746.post-54771932471811266992012-11-26T03:06:25.301-08:002012-11-26T03:06:25.301-08:00I've cooked main courses and cookies, but neve...I've cooked main courses and cookies, but never pies or cakes. Personally, I don't care how they look if they taste good. My mother was a complete "do everything from scratch" person, except for pizza. She used to roll out a can of biscuits and use it as a pizza crust. Always worked well and tasted great. Now you've got me wanting a pie... grrr. : )Richard Rumplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15478732756685966429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724867472090979746.post-27717626175400762822012-11-25T03:46:42.884-08:002012-11-25T03:46:42.884-08:00The photographed pie does, as the other Commentati...The photographed pie does, as the other Commentationers have stated. look great.<br /><br />Despite my (slight) Y Chromosome disadvantage, I can speak to the matter of pie making, having had a fling at it a few years ago: your pie shows no sign of dough bandages! <br />Most of my pies looked like the pastry equivalent of a 100 year old horsehair plaster wall. I never thought it was a bad thing to cut and paste, figured, it's all the same material and it's edible! <br />So if I tore some major holes in my pie crusts, then that's what all the extra stuff was for...patching and filling.<br /><br />Fairly early in my cooking phase, my wife convinced me to find an alternative to pie making as an outlet for my inner chef. (And all I asked was if she thought writing messages into the crust, (to be inspired as you ate the desert) was *too* much!)<br />Clark Farleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606902779389446947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724867472090979746.post-72183678164489424142012-11-24T23:02:36.614-08:002012-11-24T23:02:36.614-08:00I'm jealous of your Pillsbury pie.

Maybe one day SA will get with the times and realize there's a whole market for more gluten-free products. I caved though, ended up using ginger cookies (with some wheat) to make the base for the pumpkin pie. Oh well. It was good. Yay for pre-made dough though! ;)Melanie Chisnallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185780861280344366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724867472090979746.post-30229549993503244922012-11-24T17:54:16.740-08:002012-11-24T17:54:16.740-08:00I just started making pies in the past year.

I'm such a novice. But I learn something new every time. But yeah, Pillsbury would be a heck of a lot easier...and prettier.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940266024306074097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724867472090979746.post-50788523326012829892012-11-24T16:11:29.318-08:002012-11-24T16:11:29.318-08:00Stacy, that pie looked absolutely delicious and gr...Stacy, that pie looked absolutely delicious and great job. I do cakes not pies, so my hat is off to you for ever attempting to make your own crust. My grandmother made her own crusts all the time and was constantly amazed at how well of a system she had, but it is store bought for me all the way, if I were to ever try.Janine Huldiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226958154244023407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724867472090979746.post-17976743181102735542012-11-24T13:32:42.741-08:002012-11-24T13:32:42.741-08:00I think your pie looks beautiful!

Make a pie and add too much water? Bad problem. LOL. Your pie was beautiful, though!

Which is almost never. You have already learned my mother's secret pie crust recipe: use a Pillsbury crust and roll it out a little thinner (otherwise, they are too thick and storeboughtish). I swear, your guests will never know the difference. Happy pie baking!Dyannehttp://iwantbacksies.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
