And now for a little pie talk. Pastry is not my forte; I feel pretty confident about baking in general, but when it comes to pastry, I am not my mother's daughter (my mom has nailed down pastry-making; she also has firm beliefs about lard and can crimp a pie crust like nobody's business). However, my confidence level has just gone up a notch. This week I made a pie and it was a winner: thank you, fast-easy-flaky piecrust recipe. It's made in the food processor in about 2 minutes from start to finish (I know - cheating). I didn't have sour cream on hand, so I used plain yogurt instead. The recipe is similar to the Smitten Kitchen galette dough, but even easier to make - no freezing of ingredients and no using a pastry cutter. Then things got even better when I washed out my food processor and made this incredibly delicious ginger-scallion sauce. And then I had a pile of dirty dishes.
The end.
The end.
