That is the great thing about how I have the chores set-up at our house. I cook and DP cleans!
Since baking is such a mess and I had a full load of dishes anyway, I ran the dishwasher this afternoon.
Let me tell you, that pie was awesome! The crust....OMG Baby J, that crust!
It was super easy too! It's the crust that Melissa did on Next Food Network Star. You make it in a food processor.
Cut up two sticks of butter and place them in the freezer. You want the buttah to be nice and cold.
2.5 cups of all purpose flour
pinch or two of salt
.5 cups of cold water (I measure .5 cups of water and then add ice cubes)
After the buttah has chilled for about 10 minutes in the freezer, toss the buttah and the flour in the food processor. Pulse the mixture until you see big grains. Then I add enough water and pulse until it becomes like sand. When you can pinch it together, then you are good.
I take the ball of dough and put it in the fridge in a plastic freezer bag for at least 15 minutes.
I rolled out two pie shells, lined the pie pan with a shell, added the filling, dotted the filling with 4 - 6 pats of buttah, topped it with the last shell, crimped and made some steam holes.
I then put everything back in the refrigerator to chill and set that buttah in the pastry shell again.
Good evening all - got to stay awake and dressed (no jammies for me yet) to go pick up my niece at the airport at 10.....my nephew decided to stay home at the last minute....I may sneak in later for a late night snack!
HG - hope your schoolyear goes well.... George - first I had Kitchenaid envy...now I have Dyson envy! I don't see that happening in the near future though....my vacuum still works....my friends all LOVE their Dysons - even the ones who have no pets....
Location: Moved to town. Miss 'my' woods and critters.

I must be on a pork kick. Last night I browned several pork steaks from a pork butt that the butcher cut for me. then put them into a 12 x 9 glass dish, poured Maulls barbecue sauce over all and then put a double layer of Reynolds wrap over the dish and baked in a 350 oven for about 45-50 mins. Talk about good!! So tender a knife wasn't needed. Glad that I fixed extra because our eldest son surprised us. We knew that he was driving in to MO for his youngest son's B-Day party at our son's Inlaws farm.
Anyway DS got here and talked to us for about 90 seconds outside and then the passenger side door opened and ...........our youngest son from florida stepped out!! Talk about a wonderful surprise!!! We had NO idea that he was coming also. Well, back to the visiting......see y'all later....
NWV - what a wonderful surprise! Tell me about maulls BBQ sauce? Never have heard of it.
