CurvyMama’s at the midway point in her Thanksgiving piemaking. Three pumpkin, two pecan and two cherry lattice-top have been made and delivered; we’re making chocolate cream and another cherry this morning. Tonight and tomorrow morning we’ll turn out two more pumpkin and two more cherry, a double-crust apple and a caramel-apple lattice top. That means we get to fire up our new apple corer/peeler! I&

CurvyMama has stockpiled her pie crust dough, and fired up her oven. We’re off and running! Sunday began with making a couple dozen disks of pie dough, wrapping them up and giving them some time to think (and to rest their gluten) before the big rollouts begin. Into the refrigerator they went…

I am happy to report that both pies worked out wonderfully. I was delighted to see t

YES! We’re on a pie high! CurvyMama came home sadly from her pie-making week in New York, but perked right up again when drafted to make more pies. You watched yesterday as I made a lemon meringue pie. When we left off, I was going to bed with my fingers crossed that the filling would be firm enough to hold its shape when sliced. This morning, I placed a clear dome over the pie and took it to work, where I pres

CurvyMama may have sadly left the Big Apple Pie, but was immeasurably cheered today by the best news of all: someone to bake for. Yep! On my very first day back in Policy Town, I have two pies on my agenda. One is for my colleague Techie Pie, whose Web acumen helped me get this blog going when I exhibited a less-than-stellar command of WordPress.
