There are two pecan pies and one carrot cake in the oven as I write this. I have a batch of sausage balls in the works as soon as the oven is available.

[Plymouthy Adams]

[GaryPrice]

Time to get out put in the starter in KAtherine and SHOW up!!! I am hungry now.... Thanks, just what I needed. I have been baking and eating cookies (peanut butter, tallhouse, chocolate chip, every chip, short bread, and some I forget the names of:p) all morning. Just what my gut needs. I thinnk by the end of the holidays I am going to require a longer reach jack.....

Hey Don, we call our car Kate. It seems that if she doesn't start right up, further cranking of the starter reminds my wife of Katherine Hepburns laughter in her later days.

Just put some chocolate chocolate chip cookie dough in the fridge. Lasagna is going in later.

[Rodney Bullock]

Hey, I got a cake in the oven and mixing another batch for the next:) I can't wait. I even got dibs on licking the spoon:p I can't play with my cars so it's off to the store for more eggs. I still have not learned to make pies I guess I have time to learn.

There is a group of guy's that go on a pie run on xmas morning They drive their hot rods, customs and originals. I don't think they will make it this year(snow) I remember some years ago we used to go over near Joe Flanagan to the Shoney's Boy I miss that joint:D

I got the record player turned up with 'Sade" playing it's a great day!

Turn on your record player, get a beer from the ice box, and relax on your davenport.

Bullock, you are such a SMOOTH OPERATOR!!!!

Pies are easy. Star out with the Pillsburry Crust Kits ( You can lear to make pie dough later) Fillings, dry fruitLike sliced apples, twice as high as the pan, sugar to cover the fruit, butter to dollop the sugar, some cinnamon, some nutmeg, a bit of clove and a pinch of salt. If your are using fruit with a lot of juice, you cook all the stuff together with a bit of water and cornstarch, before you fill the pie crust. Fold the top crust in half, psoition it over the unfold it, seal the edges, cut a couple slots in the top crust 350 till the top crust is nice and brown.

it the edges of the crust brown more than you like them cover them with foil. If you wan get fancy, make a thin eggwash, add some sugar and brush it on the top crust.

If you don't like top crust or you screw it up trying to get it on, mix up equal parts butter flour and brown sugar to make a crumble top like apple crisp, or if you do get the top right and want to you can sprinkle this mix on top of the top crust.

Why do you think people use the expression easy as PIE?????

[greg g]

And while your pies are baking put your feet up on the Hassok.

[Don Coatney]

I am off to the store to buy more sugar and flour.

You know Greg, that's the second or third time you showed me you know more than meets the eye. I'm watching you:cool:

[Young Ed]

Are the 78's single sided or them new fangled double sided ones? What are the titles? Have you got "With Her Head Tucked Underneith Her Arm", Fuedin, Fightin, and Fussin, "Homorisque", The Old Sow Song", or my favorite "The Crepation Contest"?

Well cookies are done, I have been told I have to go easy on the "tasteing" or I am going to be NOT allowed to play. :eek:Things warmed up enough to get the starter and carb on. Had to go get milk, only took 2 or 3 "wrong" :rolleyes:turns since I was in Katherine.....

Merry Christmas to everyone and may the new year see all of us having extra time with our babies.

[pflaming]

Don's 'U-Tube' connections sent me listening and I ended up with the Kingston Trio's the MTA. Boy do we need the Kingston Trio in D.C. now! Thanks Don, it was a great ride! ". . . did he ever return?. . .

His wife goes down

To the Scollay Square station

Every day at quarter past two

And through the open window

She hands Charlie a sandwich

As the train comes rumblin' through.

[Don Coatney]

There is now a "Charlie Card" available for the Boston Transit System. The CharlieCard is named after a fictional character in a folk music song often called "Charlie on the MTA" (or, more simply, "M.T.A."), which concerns a man trapped forever on the Boston subway system (then known as the Metropolitan Transit Authority, or MTA) because he can't pay the fare required to exit. Poor old Charlie.
