Somewhere in my recipe box, I have a pie crust recipe that my grandmother gave me when I got married. It makes a dozen pie crusts (because, as she said, you always need one ready for an emergency ;) ).Susan in TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550766549670690646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-35550707530915944732010-10-19T09:22:34.746+01:002010-10-19T09:22:34.746+01:00I am hoping for a new food processor for my birthd...I am hoping for a new food processor for my birthday this week and the new Nigella book, really in the mood for cooking at the moment!Dothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214328862998740090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-12246021664329505522010-10-19T08:55:12.858+01:002010-10-19T08:55:12.858+01:00Wow!

Did you not have domestic science lessons at your school? I remember that we were taught to make, shortcrust, flaky, and ruff puff pastry, don't recall doing choux pastry at school but that surely should have been included.<br /><br />I must admit that I have been known to use shop brought pastry, and we have some Gluten Free shortcrust pastry tucked away in the bottom of our freezer. <br /><br />Glad to hear that you and others turned the anniversary of your friend's death into a positive occasion, what a brilliant thing to do.Geraldinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-7922305996526587492010-10-18T20:39:20.157+01:002010-10-18T20:39:20.157+01:00ooh pastry.
