Woke up this morning, with a start. I was dreaming that I had just discovered a huge mouse infestation in my pantry. So in my dream I was hauling things out of the pantry and taking everything outside to the garbage. What a relief to wake up and find it not true! We haven't had mice in our house for years. Nuisance (our cat) had brought a dead mouse to the front porch last week, one of her little gifts. So maybe that is the reason for the dream.
I went, I participated, and I enjoyed the pie making class yesterday. I joined 20 other ladies, most of them I knew, some I hadn't seen in many years. It was fun to visit. Many years ago I learned how to make pie crust from a cookbook and lots of practice. Herb loves pies. But lately I've been disappointed with my crust. After watching the demonstration, I think i've been paranoid about working the crust too much, and have added more liquid to bring it together, then, I had to add more flour to keep it from sticking. So back to the practice table, I will try working it more and see what happens. Herb will agree that I need more practice, as he samples another slice of pie.
I must get moving, we have about 40# of deer meat to put in jars and pressure cook starting today. We will work it around our other activities and plan about 2 days, start to finish.
