I have wondered for a long time why ...
I LOVE BAKING PIES!
I LOVE BAKING PIES!
Sometimes I enjoy baking cookies too.
But mostly I like baking pies!
Meringue pies, fruit pies, cream pies...
ANY KIND OF PIE!
Recently on our trip to Arizona
my sister Marie mentioned to me that our
GRANDMA ANNA BARABE
LOVED BAKING PIES!
MYSTERY SOLVED!
My Grandma is the one on the left in the
plaid blouse. I was named after this Grandma.
Nancy means "little Anne".
When I heard she spent many hours baking pies
I was so excited!
Recently I have been led to some pie baker's
"treasures". While we were in Colorado going to
yard sales with Eva and Val I found this
for FIFTY CENTS!
I did not even know there was a Willow Tree "pie baker" figurine.
Then two weeks ago I found something else I did not know
existed! We went to a rummage sale by our house
and I found a ...well, you guess what it is...
If you guessed what this is perhaps you are a
pie baker too...
It is a LATTICE CRUST ROLLER!
After you roll out a pie crust if you roll
this across the crust it stretches into this...
WOW WHAT A TIME SAVER!
Then this week at a Relief Society sharing table I
found something I have wanted for years!!!
A MARBLE ROLLING PIN!
I used it this morning and decided
I like my old wooden one that belonged
to my mother much better.
The marble one does make a nice addition
to my rolling pin collection.
(How many people have a rolling pin collection!?)
How many people have a special CD that
MUST BE PLAYING
while the pie baking goes on?
This should be entitled
BACH FOR BAKING!
I play it every time I bake pies and the pies
come out perfect!
At least one person always tells me they are
PERFECT!
Perhaps this man is another reason
I LOVE BAKING PIES...
He's so appreciative! Can't you see it is his eyes?
"NO ONE ELSE BETTER EVEN THINK
ABOUT TOUCHING THIS PIE!"
