we had a family birthday celebration for slim
on sunday. his birthday is on wednesday, march 7th!
carolyn, my mom-in-law gave us a step by step
pie making lesson on saturday.
carolyn still uses this betty crocker pie & pastry
baking book from the 60's- you know i love this!
hate when that crisco sticks to the measuring cup?
fill it up with water to the amount you need &
fill it with crisco- bam, easy peasy cleanup!
this wire hand musher helps make perfect crust.
checkout this mat that lets you know how
much crust to roll out to fit the pie dish.
*always use enough flour, but not too much b/c it'll make your dough rough & crack.
carolyn has the cutest top crust imprinters- apples 4 apple pie!
baked to perfection.
slim sliced a couple pounds of granny smiths.
after watching carolyn, i attempted my 1st pie.
rhubarb, blackberries & apples.
it tasted just as good as it looked!
owen presented the birthday boy with his pie
and then owen & oliver helped slim make a
big wish & blow out the candles.
matthew, oliver & jimbo talking about
how amazing the pies were!
then i got some play time with the little guy.
oliver had a few bites of pie & couldn't stop raving
on & on about the soulful flavors.
long day of eating pies makes moma girl a tired pup.
