I've tried making pie, more than once. It's the crust that always throws me. It never comes out right, and I'm always really bummed about it. Because, my husband likes pie and it just seems like one of those things that I should be able to do.

A friend of mine makes the BEST pie ever! And, she was even kind enough to give me the recipe. I tried, it didn't work so well. So, I said, I think it's consistency that I'm having trouble with. Would you please show me how to make it? So, she came over and I made two awesome pies with her watchful eye helping me. I was very impressed with myself.

So, for Father's Day, I decided I'd make my dad an apple pie (his favorite) and my husband a peach pie (his favorite). THEY WERE SOOOOOOO YUMMY!!!!!!!! I WAS SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!!! I wish I had pictures! They were perfect. I must confess, I was a little proud of myself. So, I feel I have finally conquered the pie crust. I can do it! Now, I can hopefully teach my children the same. Then, one day, now that I've conquered it, I can pass the duty on to them. But, until them, I think I'm going to enjoy making them for special occassions, etc.
