Blogger...Well I am going to try this one more time. Blogger keeps eating my pie story! My favorite pie memory is of my Mom's Lemon Meringue Pies that she would bake when my Aunt Honey and Uncle Russell were coming to visit. (Actually he always got a chocolate cake - from scratch - and I have a wild story about that too). I always thought that, not only were her pies delicious, but they were so beautiful with the little golden 'teardrops' all scattered about the meringue topping. Imagine my shock when I came to find years later that that is called 'weeping meringue' and is the bane of pie bakers! I thought then and still do think that they are absolutely gorgeous and wouldn't be Lemon Meringue pies without those delicious teardrops of pure sweetness (can you tell I used to dip my finger in and lick the sweetness???)CindyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10257968172800300920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-52688455517349541072010-10-22T20:52:34.210-05:002010-10-22T20:52:34.210-05:00My ex-husband loved lemon meringue pie. He'd ...My ex-husband loved lemon meringue pie. He'd eat it any time of the day or night, he dreamed of it, he's speak of it in hushed terms. Once, when he was a boy, his mother had made one for her Bridge group, and he asked, "May I have some?". She told him yes, but, be neat about it so it would still look nice.<br /><br />When she brought it to the table, it was still uncut, and although puzzled, she let that go, and basked in the ohhhs' and ahhhh's of her friends, who knew of Ruth's prowess with this particular pie.<br /><br />She soon discovered her son had, indeed, taken 'some'. He'd lifted the meringue, scooped out most of the filling, and placed the meringue back on the crust... when she sliced, the whole thing collapsed. <br /><br />The best day of my marriage was the day he ate my version of her pie, got tears in his eyes and said...."I'll never admit I said it, but, your pie is miles better than my mom's"<br /><br />I can assure you he was well rewarded for that compliment later on, when the kids were asleep.quin brownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804746948797234402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-57501815761222551312010-10-22T15:58:54.074-05:002010-10-22T15:58:54.074-05:00My Grandfather was a french-canadian blueberry far...My Grandfather was a french-canadian blueberry farmer way up north in Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec.

When he, my DIL and two granddaughters came to visit, I made not one, but 3. This was not because we ate them, but because I had a series of failures.<br /><br />Failure #1: Prebaked pie shell fell flat all over itself. In spite of beans and much fork poking, it just folded up and looked like something you don't want to talk about in polite company! Sprinkled cinnamon/sugar on it, and the grandgirls loved it, despite its looks.<br /><br />Failure #2: Second shell baked just fine, completed the recipe, broiled it to crisp the grated parmesan cheese on top, put it on the counter while we went out to check on whether any lambs had arrived or not. Because of the snow, my wussie brown dog (a boxer) stayed inside. <br /><br />She enjoyed 2/3 of our dinner. It did not sit well with her feather-weight digestive system, either, let me tell you!<br /><br />We had spaghetti instead that night.<br /><br />The next night, we checked for lambs BEFORE making dinner, and finally got our pie!<br /><br />Every time I make it I think of that visit, and how much fun it was!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421589409738817614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-63767367422512333002010-10-22T13:30:52.129-05:002010-10-22T13:30:52.129-05:00I went to google Pie Scenes in Movies... don't...I went to google Pie Scenes in Movies... don't do it, lol, a bunch of unmentionable type websites came up!

If it hadn't been for Daylight Savings time (which, as a lifelong farmer, she thought was ridiculous), I would have been born on her birthday. She was known locally as a great home baker and I've always been a little sad that I never knew her or tasted any of her famous baked goods. So I was ecstatic when my mother came across Grandma's recipe box and I now have her recipes for sour cream raisin pie and "pumpkin pie, extra good". I like to think that maybe some of my love of baking comes from her and I'm very happy to report that her pumpkin pie (with its 2 cups of heavy cream) <b>is</b> extra good!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006495651241822267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-21553171878944770932010-10-21T15:36:07.625-05:002010-10-21T15:36:07.625-05:00At around 12 years old I baked my first pie, lemon...At around 12 years old I baked my first pie, lemon merguine.

The first is of ...I have 2 wonderful pie memories.<br /><br />The first is of picking pecans at my grandparents house in Central Oklahoma. They had 2 MASSIVE pecan trees in the back yard and my cousins and I would each take a grocery bag and run around picking pecans off the ground. When we were very little, each pecan had to be inspected by my Grandpa, to make sure it didn't have any wormy holes or anything on it. As we got older, we learned the difference between a good pecan and a bad pecan ourselves. Occasionally if there weren't enough pecans on the ground my Grandpa would shake the lowest branches of the tree and we'd all run for cover (and squeal with glee) as pecans came tumbling down around us. My Grandma would then take all of our pecans and bake pecan pies that we would enjoy at every meal for the rest of our stay at their house. It's one of my fondest childhood memories.<br /><br />My second pie story is very quick. Not too long ago I came across a fantastic idea of making Pie Pops. Little mini pies attached to lollipop sticks. I mean really, Pie Pops. Not only are they delicious but they are so cute!!

I am not a big fan of pumpkin pie, so I was determined to make the world's best..and maybe I'd like it. So I roasted fresh pumpkin in pumpkin beer, pureed it, and drained it in cheesecloth overnight. The next morning I simmered the puree w/a smattering of spices and a pumpkin beer reduction, then poured it into a lovely homemade shortbread cookie crust and baked it. When it was golden and glistenting and beautiful, I popped open the door and gleefully scooped it up for transport to its cooling rack...only for my cheap crappy Pyrex pie dish to crumble in my hands, golden pumpkin goodness oozing onto the oven coils. After which I promptly shut the door and tried to pretend nothing had happened for the rest of the day. However, I did manage to steal a glass-free bite, and it was divine. And I now have a very pretty and expensive red pie dish.Drehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686244763350596520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-80851977559956590792010-10-19T12:09:15.416-05:002010-10-19T12:09:15.416-05:00Just made two apple pies last night from apples we...Just made two apple pies last night from apples we picked over the weekend.

I was nine years old, and the recipe is actually kind of complicated. However, with the guidance of my uncle, I made the crust, the filling, and the whipped cream that went on top all from scratch. It was an extremely exciting moment for me. From then on it was always my duty to make the chocolate pie for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I plan on letting my kids each do the same thing as they grow up. It's such a sense of accomplishment. :)Lauren Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09222434709595310194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-74916454266886889392010-10-19T08:33:40.626-05:002010-10-19T08:33:40.626-05:00I'm a HUGE fan of making pie crusts in the foo...I'm a HUGE fan of making pie crusts in the food processor.

For those who don't know, huckleberries are tiny little reddish fruits. They grow wild in Oregon (and I hear they grow other places too). They can be a bit tart, but they are very tasty. My mom said she'd make the pie if my grandpa picked the berries. He spent all day picking. He went to woods behind their house, sat in a chair under the bushes, and picked and picked and picked! He finally gave up, but there was just enough for a pie. It ended up being very tart and my grandpa never asked for one again!<br />The other good pie story is when my mom made her very first pie as a teenager: a cherry pie. She forgot to pit the cherries, which my grandpa painfully discovered when he took his first bite of pie.

Since my pastry is more akin to paving brick or mortar than pastry, I find this pie especially good. There is no bottom crust, though I have been known to use the Doughboy version on occasion. Fill the pan with peeled, sliced apples (Wolf River are great- one or two apples per pie; yes, they are THAT large.) Cover the top with a cookie like dough that contains an outrageous amount of butter, cinnamon, some sugar, and toasted pecans, hazelnuts, or almonds. Bake until golden which takes about an hour. My mouth waters.....will send recipe if you'd like it. It is my birthday pie each year. buchhma AT live dot comMary from Madisonnoreply@blogger.com
