I don’t particularly like pie. I mean, it’s OK and all, but it’s not my favorite dessert to eat. But MAKING pie has become my new obsession. Something about rolling out a crust and mixing up a filing makes me feel highly satisfied, as though I’ve accomplished something with my day. Professionally, I rarely produce anything tangible that I can point to at the end of the day and say, “I made that.” But a pie is a real thing, and it seems to make people happy.
So, I have decided to make my way through the 1950’s Betty Crocker Cookbook pie section, and blog about it, a la Julie/Julia. I’ll also be writing about other pie experiments, including my never-ending quest for the perfect chocolate raspberry pie, and pie-in-a-jar and other pie fads.
I hope this blog will be interesting to someone other than me, and might inspire you to try making a pie. It’s really a lot easier than it sounds!
