While digging through our recipes, I found a handwritten recipe for apple pie from my mom. I thought it might be fun to try and make one. Mind you, I virtually never make crust from scratch. After the first batch of dough, I was on the phone with Diane suggesting she bring a couple pre-made pie shells home. After googling pie crust, I learned that you need to keep the dough cold. (Probably obvious to my mother). So I used ice water and made a double batch. Anyway, while doing this project I kept flashing back to times in the kitchen with my mom. I remembered how she taught me to read using recipes. No wonder I was 300 lbs of love…
Here is a photo of the finished product. Tasted pretty good too!
Got to have gravy! I found this on the counter while cleaning up. Looks like the sous chef was intense this year…
And of course, good food deserves good wine. They were served left to right. And most definitely best in that order as well.
Happy Thanksgiving!
