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!"

Awesome!! I had NO idea that you had a rolling pin collection!
Looks DELICIOUS!!! I wish I had your skills mom. I tried making cookies for Wade's B-day and instead of nice chewy cookies I came out with something like paper thin toast stuck like super glue to the cookie sheets. I'm blaming it on the elevation.:-) Love You!!!
Maybe next time I visit you can teach me! Baking pies is not something I can do unless it is "No Bake Cheese Cake!" I would LOVE to learn to make a REAL pie!!! Brandon's favorite is cherry...mine of course is pecan! I still can't believe you got that willow tree statue for $.50! That is SUCH a STEAL!!!! I miss you sooo much, Mom!!! I hope we can see each other soon!
ok i just decided to get serious about loosing weight and then i get on and look at your blog and now all i want is PIE!!!! They look so good mom! i miss your pies so much! i loved when you would back pie!! they always turned out amazing!!! I really need to learn too! it would be nice if all of us girls could get together and have a pie baking class from you!! maybe someday! love you mom!
I love that you have a rolling pin collection. My mom had a marble one when I was a kid, and that picture just totally took me back! And I love that you have that special connection to your pie-loving ancestor.
Congrats on your new grandbaby!
