Dear Beth,
My mother didn't make pies and hated making pie crusts so I think I never learned to get good at them. I think of pecan pie as difficult and fruit pies as easier.
Are you good at baking?


Dear Waves,
Do you have graham crackers?
You live in place with amazing food. And yet. . .
Maybe we have to trade places.
I read that some place use lard for their pie crusts. The pies made that way have nicer crusts than our (US) mushy pies. Is that how your Mom would make them?


Dear DiMarie,
Thanks for sharing those memories of your daughter's apple pies.



Dear Donna,
I never heard of Sugar Pie. I looked it up. Wikipedia says it is an Indiana thing -- don't know if wikipedia is right.
I used to work at Dennys a long time ago and I remember their Chocolate pie.


Dear Majo,
Really? Have you ever had pineapple pie? Sounds new to me.
I don't eat pineapple. I tell people I am allergic to it, but I just don't like it. Sweet potato is similar to pumpkin but not exactly. Some people use similar spices. Your list reminded me of coconut pie. That sounds good.
