Muscatine

for Thanksgiving and among all the food, Mom had made 4 pies. Cherry, apple, pumkin, and pecan. I had three slices of pumkin and my 2 nephews could not stop raving about the apple pie. So everyone what is your favorite pie and who do you remember making it the best? A favorite aunt, grandmother, your wife. Who and what kind of pie. Everyone let us all know.

That's a hard decision.

I don't eat much sweet stuff or desserts, but I really like all kinds of pie.
I guess I have 2 favorites:
My late mother's cherry pie made from sour cherries off our tree from scratch, where she went to the trouble of ''braiding'' a cross-hatch in crust on the top, and..
My wife's French apple pie, made from scratch (crust made with lard), pretty warm from the oven with a slice of chedder cheese and a scoop of vanilla icecream on top.
Hey, I also like mince-meat pie, which hardly anyone likes anymore.

pies

I remember picking cherries off one of my grandma's trees. Then as the six youngsters picked, Dad and Uncle Bud would take them to Grandma's front porch and Mom and Aunt Louise would pit the cherries. When the picking was done the girls would go to Grandma's huge kitchen and help her measure and add sugar to the cherries and take them downstairs to the freezer. So for the memory cherry pie. But apple is my favorite because I would spend hours with Grandma learning to make a nice flackey crust from scratch and pealing and coring her home grown Johnathan apples for OUR pie. Still when I get in the kitchen to make a crust it feels like grandma is still helping me.

It's experiences and memories

like that we need to give tou kids today. I have fond memories of helping my Grandma make sugar cookies. Great memories.
