Look, Karyn!

Enough with the guilt for not having made good on my promise to bake a "real" blueberry pie for Todd if he helped us pick the berries. Boy, did he help!
I looked up the recipe for Pate Brisee on Martha's website and followed it to the letter, except added a tsp of baking powder per Priscilla's recipe. Isn't it beautiful?
Unfortunately for me, the crust was absolutely delicious, the perfect blend of tenderness and crispiness. How can I ever go back to Pillsbury?! Todd even declared that I had proven my ability and now I'm free to proclaim myself a real baker. He told me if I want to, I can go back to the fakes, since this one took at least 2 hours (good grief). The question is - can I go back?

D. It may be tough to go back.
E. Very nice of Todd to tell you that you can go back to the fakes.

(This is really Laura by the way but I don't feel like logging Nik out so you're getting his name!)

Zona,

That is a B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L pie! I'm sure it was quite yummy and flaky. One of these days I'll make it to Oregon, and, when I do, I just might want a piece of blueberry pie! I might have to try the crust recipe one of these days. I think I'll try it with pumpkin. Pie=YUM!

Love, Karyn
