     Re: Pie Crust

   Hi Ruth,   
      
   RH> We had a bit of left over pie   
   RH> crust after trimming the top so today Steve made mini cinnamon rolls--roll   
   RH> out the crust, sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar, roll up and cut into 1"   
   RH> pieces and bake. His mom did it so he taught me to do it years ago.   
      
   That sounds good to me.  Back in the day i used to go to a pizza buffet   
   that also included cinnamon rolls made just the way i like them.  Soft,   
   buttery, yeasty, and innundated with brown sugary cinnamon "syrup".  I   
   don't seek out such sweets now, but i definitely eat them if offered. :)   
      
   RH> It all sounded good except for the espresso. I'm not (never was, never   
   RH> will be) a coffee drinker. I'd have probably had a cuppa tea instead. (G)   
      
   I normally don't drink espresso either, but i felt like i needed it that   
   morning.  My sister made it a little on the weak side, which was probably   
   just right for me at that time.   
      
   RH> Sounds good. I used my 12 qt stock pot for the pea soup we made recently   
   RH> and the 8 qt stock pot for the goulash soup--both were too large a   
   RH> quantity to fit into my crock pot.   
      
   Split pea soup is my favorite.  Which would you say is yours?   
      
   I made another lentil soup, this time with a large can of Progresso   
   "pot roast" soup as the base, with onions, carrots, potatoes, garlic,   
   two bay leaves, home grown rosemary, and water.  I am happy with how   
   it turned out.  Tastes like real food.   
      
   RH> Steve makes a small (7") one in the Instant Pot   
   RH> and always adds extra chocolate. Extra rich, extra good so a small wedge   
   RH> will be sufficient.   
      
   Huh, i didn't know you could make cheesecake in an instant pot.  That   
   sounds good.  I am imagining a hardened layer of chocolate on top of   
   the cheesecake, giving it a candy finish.   
      
   I don't celebrate Christmas and never have.  My classmates assumed it   
   meant i was a Jehova's Witness.  I'm not that, nor Jewish, but it is   
   legacy from my folks religious objections, who skipped Christmas   
   because of its Pagan origins. Historically thanks to the puritanical   
   legacy in the USA, there were times and places where they outlawed   
   Christmas. Not far from Whoville. ;)
