Whew! What day. I guess my enthusiasm was a little bigger than the
reality, but it was my very first all scratch pie. After having eaten
half of it, I can say, in all honesty, it wasn't really all that, but
was still better than those crappy pre-fab pies they sell at you local
supermkt for $4-5. No doubt most of the goodness was the fresh
berries and the not-like-gum crusts.

I really want to thank all you guys and gals for all the great advice
and tips you've offered. I've copied and saved them all. I'm really
stoked about making a somewhat successful pie and definitely plan on
many more. I've had more fun than I would have ever imagined, probably
due the fact I AM a true pie fan and my first attempt wasn't a total
failure.

Again, thank you to all who responded to my posts.

What fruits are in season? I think I saw pears on sale!

A good apple pie is a wonderful thing have fresh. It is a basic in my
house, one I teach the babies to make early on. I like the recipe in JoC.
