It was too shaggy. It barely held together when being shaped into disks for the fridge. Rolling the dough out later was tricky and getting in into the pie pan, trickier still. It was friable, cohering with mashing and not finesse.
And yet. And yet! It turned out to be delicious, making for one marvelous quiche and one delicious apple pie.
What’s the lesson here? Something about the perils of relying on the standards of previous efforts, perhaps. Something about holding low expectations…
I know I’m home because I’m typing to jackhammering.
I know I’m home because I didn’t sleep well two nights last week.
I know I’m home because the garden calls like a Siren.
I know I’m home because I’m looking forward to writing with my Tuesday writers this morning.
Back to dog walks. Back to really tasty salads.
My son returned to Colorado with Covid. If biting your tongue made a sound (regarding masks, which he not once wore), he would hear it from Massachusetts. How hard is it? I truly don’t understand. It wasn’t just him — in almost every mode of transport and crowded venue, I was the only person masked.
Lest you think me extreme, a woman coughed (goopy, wet) for all six hours of this flight. About five rows back. It did not sound like she was even bothering to cover her mouth.
PS. Flight was a red-eye and the coverup helped me sleep too.
If it tasted good, that’s all that counts in my book. The only kind of pie crust I’ve ever made was the Tupperware Bowl one. So tasty!
Love the garden video. Funny how much moe of a sense of place a video can give. Your garden looks lovely.
Ah, bird life. I miss seeing our wild turkeys. They are usually deeper up the road, so I don’t get to see them so much anymore. What a sweet lil bicycle bird 🙂
I’m one to still practice caution with masking. Too many things that I don’t want to reschedule at this point. I wore mine all the way into the colonoscopy room, where they were all masked and I had an oxygen type mask instead! haha
These fabrics look just right for sachets!
Age is a co-morbidity. That alone should have a lot of us masking. The sachet fabrics are nice and I have so much fabric I’ll never use so it’s nice to pull it out and wash and press!
Oh no! Poor kid. I wore a mask religiously and still got it. So I just don’t know any more, tho I have to say the mob scene at the gallery on Thursday had me super nervous. Not a mask in sight but then again how can you drink wine with a mask? At another big opening a few months back the noro virus went around. I’m starting to think of people as walking germs. More is Almost as bad. I feel fine so I think I’m safe. I hope!. I hope you two are too! And sonnyboy has a quick recovery!
And that back to the real world of leaf blowers and jackhammers sucks. My gambino neighbor was blowing his pool deck for hours like wtf?
I ate on the plane and we were in restaurants for lunch and dinner so maybe it’s just bad luck.
