Well, I made it through the night. Thanks so much for your prayers.
I know I need to be into my homemaking. Jim is after me to make an apple pie. He is so funny. This is how he hints. He goes to the store and buys a sack of apples. Then he will say, "I am sure hungry for dessert."
And then I will say, "What kind?" And then he will look at the sack of apples on the table.
Then last night, he cuts some apples up in a bowl and puts honey over them, and milk, and eats them. His comment is, "Well, that will do for now." So I know I am to get to the apple pie today.
All of my pie crusts used to taste like cardboard and, just lately, I have learned to make a decent crust. I just take a few cups of flour and mix it with a cup of shortening and some salt. Then I just cut the shortening into the flour with my fingers until the flour looks like corn meal almost. Make sure the shortening is well incorporated into the flour. Then just add a bit of cold water and make a dough. Then just roll this dough flat with your rolling pin and put it in a pie pan. Then I just cut apples up, and put some sugar and butter on them, and a few Tbs of water and some cinnamon. Then put a top crust on it and bake it.
