Two weekends ago I got together with Steve's boss's wife. She had never baked a homemade pie and (rightfully) assumed I hadn't either, so Sunday afternoon we set out to learn. Armed with all my ingredients, my yellow Calling All Cooks cookbook, a few helpful hints from Dad, and of course a bottle of wine, I traveled down the mountain to tackle another domestic challenge. Amie and I both made several pies and surprisingly nothing was burnt and the kitchen is still standing. I made an apple pie and 2 pecan pies. I'm a bad southerner and don't like pecan pies, so I let Steve take those to work (although that isn't a good judge of how they taste...Marines will eat anything). However, I kept the apple at our house and it is delicious! I must say I'm quite proud. Enjoy a few pictures of my baking accomplishments!
Apple Pie (before) - I tried to cut a pretty leaf out of the top crust
Apple Pie (after) - the leaf didn't work out so well
