Its plain and simple.....I have no luck with pie crusts.....so the boxed rolled crusts have enabled me to make a pie or quiche.....this is a break thru for guys like me.
I do very well with the main courses....but have no skill when it comes to pies or other desserts.....(except amber's grandma's cheese cake came out very good for me.)
I'm totally with you there. I know how to make pie crust, but I can not do better than Pilsbury, and it's a royal pain. It is one of the few shortcuts I am not ashamed of.

I make a big mess in the kitchen and a terrible pie crust! I have tried a lot of different recipes and different shortenings from crisco to lard to butter. My mother used to turn out piecrusts like a cat turns out kittens...and the dough behaved under her fingers like marble responded to michaelangelo.....but me....it turns out like cardboard...and it breaks when I try to handle it and then it sticks to the pie plate and it is thick and tasteless......I love the pillsbury roll out crusts.
Another day of not really cooking. Will have sunday leftovers which is pasta with garlic and olive oil and meat pattie with a veggie.
Elston..........I can't make a pie to save my life. I buy the crust already and just pop in the oven.
Made an apple pie and hubby asked me what it was supposed to be.
Yes.........he is still alive. LOL
Elston I am with you on the pie crusts. My sister makes amazing pies mine are pretty pathetic so I buy the ready-made ones and then if I need a cover I buy the boxed ones.
MWBW....you are right....religion class.... need to check....might be short lived...LOL.....
AND I am living my day as if it were Wednesday....dang.... it is only Tuesday.... already wishing for Friday.... what can I say? It is not Karate night.... might need to put that pizza off one more day. Dag nabit... thought I was getting off easy tonight. Eggplant needs to be used up, might bread that in the panko.... how do you think that would be???? Make cutlets.... Pasta....got some new whole wheat pasta been wanting to try. Sauce..... Have to head to Wegmans anyway so I will pick up some Mozzarella.... make a little eggplant parm with a panko twist? LOL..... there dinner is planned.....
I am thinking of baking an apple pie today......but I cheat and use the Pillsbury crusts....I did buy some nice cortland and mac apples....I will at least use real apples and brown sugar and spice and avoid the high fructose glop in the can.

I am with both of you. As a young cook, I made pie crust a few times, and it turned out perfectly well though not pristine. I am so happy to skip the mess and bother and use the pie crust in the red box!
Tonight for dinner.. I think the shrimp scampi pasta we never had last week, unless this youngish woman's mind turns to loving thoughts of stir-fry and oyster sauce.
