Inspired yet again by my very good friend Mat, one afternoon, he just made a pie, a bumbleberry pie entirely from scratch, the crust and everything. I thought, gee whiz, I've always wanted to make a pie, and I consider myself a good baker, but I've never tried a pie. So, here we have my concoction that is now . . in the trash can.
I was very tired, while making this, and I thought I followed the recipe for the crust to a tea. It rolled out dry and crumbly, but I thought, well, I just don't have the knack yet. I suck at making cut out cookies too. Did I mention that I'm a good baker?
I also put double the sugar in the pie, because I had canned pie filling, which didn't need any sugar added. Oh boy. So here comes the pie. Cardboard, tasteless crust and all with sugar bomb cherry innards. I put it on the counter to cool over night. The next morning I wake up, and see that jar of shortening on the counter. Oh, yeah, I was suppossed to put that into the crust!!! I will try it again. I'm sure I can get this right
