Maybe you should, make me feel a little less bad. No worries, I can cook like that, I just don’t on Sundays. That’s my day off from everything, cooking included.

I'm doin the one meal a day thing, in an effort not to get fat in my old age, being semi retired, and only workin one or two days a week.

Puttin off hunger pangs a few hours a day may not be pleasant, but it's quite doable using water to moderate them.

Makes piggin out once a day a tad more enjoyable too!

I'm about to throw this pie in the oven....

Wife and I made cinnamon-nutmeg seasoned apple pie filling and canned up a bunch of that. Then we made some spiced pear pie filling with allspice, cinnamon, cloves, etc. and canned all that up. Did this about two weeks ago. We had record fruit harvest season, and have canned up literally several hundred pounds of fruit.

So, I made this pie. Apple and pear. Should be baked and cooled off before the wife gets home to eat a slice. That's all she's going to get, too. I plan to eat all of the rest of it before then.

Homemade Crust ?
Looks like you know what your doing w/ pies; e.g. vent holes in top.

I used to have lots of fruit trees. (~30 yrs ago)
One year I put up 300 gal. of apple cider; and 30 gal. of grape juice.
I froze lots of both in a really big horizontal freezer.
Had cider for several years !

Yet another hash:

Crispy Sausage hash fried in butter.

Looks like you know what your doing w/ pies...

I'm new to it. I thought it would be hard, but wife insisted it wasn't. I have to credit YouTube, though... I watched a lot of pie baking videos before I tried it. I'm getting much better. The first few the crust would be underdone, or overbaked. Took a few tries to get the oven sorted out, and the baking times. Seems every oven is different, and the temperture settings on the oven are only ballpark figures. Had to buy an oven thermometer to figure out what they really are.

This one came out quite good! Very tasty!



I figured out that you need to put it on the BOTTOM rack if you want the bottom crust to be baked enough. Still working on that perfect crust. This one is closer, but I still have to experiment a little more.

I've always held the opinion that pie and icecream are the only solid food you really need, in order to survive.

I love Shun knives. Been giving them as gifts to my Dad and finally had to break down and get one for me, a Classic hollow ground 7” Santoku. Prep work is one of my favorite parts of cooking now, I loathed it before. I want a Shun paring knife now.

I also love great cutlery !

Years ago, I had an Amish woodworker make a solid cherry knife block for my kitchen knives.
Holds ~ 50 knives.

I believe Shun stopped making their mandolin.
Very nice, very high quality, machine.

[I actually have 4 mandolins: 2 sizes of Benriner (very good); very old french Bron; & Shun]

I also like high quality chainsaws ! ! ! (044, 020T, etc... )
