Pie Time

A pleasant hour this afternoon baking tomorrow's pies. Quick and easy because . . .


the crusts were made yesterday, and were chilling in disks in the fridge, waiting to be rolled out.


And because the recipe is an old friend . . .


and because Clara, Bella, and Felix prepped all twelve cups of apples for me in a flash . . .






. . . while off-camera, Giles and Daisy whipped up the filling for two pumpkin pies. Oh, these days of plenty of help. I am feeling thankful.

  1. I recognize the cookbook... Betty Crocker. The best pie crust recipe ever!

  4. I see my mother was the first to notice (Sabine). I learned to cook from that book and pounced on a copy in a used book store soon after I was married. It's always been my favourite book!

  5. I too am thankful for the help! My 9 year old mashed, then whipped the poatoes with the mixer. Of course, they were yummy with a dash of garlic & some dollops of cream cheese. Happy Thanksgiving. Oh, enjoyed your "cowkid" bib. Cute!
