This was not a good year for pie! I was just talking to a friend this evening who had the very same experience! My mishap was with a beautiful cherry pie that my sister had slaved over and decorated with crust cut-outs. It was on a folding table in the entry cooling, and she nudged the table and it landed up-side-down with glass pie plate shards in it on the carpet. Very sad. (We ran out for more cherries and started again, but the 2nd one wasn’t as pretty.)

Ha! My mom made pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving this year and the same thing happened to her. Must have been the year for slipped pies!

Linda-I am really horrible at pictures and don’t generally like to look at food-weird I know.

I have never made the cheese straws with a food processer. Did you soften the butter ahead of time? It tends to be a bit crumbly-but if it is too crumbly add a bit more butter.

Oh no Rochelle, my mom had a rough day today, but strokes really are hard. I hope she is on the mend.

Oh my that pie really did go splat! My poor Mom had another stroke and is in the hospital so our Thanksgiving was low key.

Oh dear. But, as long as you weren’t burned, that is the main thing.

Not the pie! Anything but the pie!

At least Denise was on hand to catch a photo. Hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving.

Oops! That looks like one large pie.

Please thank Denise for taking the pic. I noticed you don’t like photos on your blog.

I made your cheese straws, from the recipe on your biz card. My dough didn’t turn out right. It was too crumbly to roll out. I did it all by hand and am wondering if a food processor would have helped….
