Very good website to learn cooking
Many many thanks.
Your husband & kids are very lucky.
Keep it up.

Sudha.

BDSN: Thanks.
You can tell by looking at the edges of dough strips. Mine are very straight and I used a sharp knife to cut the dough.

Sudha: thanks. Pineapple pie, that I’ve never tried before.

Kerala Girl: Columbus, not that far. Come on by anytime, my friend.:)

Pavani: Usually recipes for pie crust use upto 2 sticks of butter or shortening. When you prepare with that amount of fat, really there is no way it’s going to turn out bad.:)

Hi Amy: .:), finishing up the pie filling and leaving the crust - sounds like a sister’s act.:)

Kiran: Thanks for the invitation and best wishes for your new blog.

Oh Shynee, baking is quite easy when comapred to our kind of cooking. Give it a try, start with banana-nut or date-nut cake recipes. My firstever baking items are those two and they really came out good and that gave me the confidence to try out other baking things.:)
Thanks.

Shammi: I remember your recipe for ribbon pakoda. Yum!:)

Terri: You said p(l)each and Kittaya heard you and said meow. Comeon by anytime, you cute darling.:)

Krithika: Thanks.
Charpai - is it Tamil or Marathi? we call the woven cot - “navara Mancham” in Telugu. We still use woven cots for slepping at our homes.

Hi Nandira: yep, otherwise they comeout like cardboards, tough and leathery.:)

Thanks MT.

brown sugar and cinnamon, I will remember that. thanks Jenn.

Hi Mandira: This is my first time baking a pie and I used a lot less fat for piecrust, still it came out decent. Give it a try.:)

Thanks Suja.

Barbara: Your clear description really helped me a lot. Thanks Barbara.
Yes, I don’t like to add sugar more than necessary for desserts. Tough to spend the extra sugary calories.:)

Chandrika: Congratulations and happy anniversary.
Best wishes for your new blog and thanks for your nice words about my blog.
My pie recipe is really very conservative both in sugar and butter quantites. Please adjust those two to your taste and don’t foget to use only ripe peaches for this pie. Do let me know how you like this recipe, if you try. Thanks Chandrika.

I have been following all your posts and your blog has inspired me to start my own.

Your peach pie looks irresistible! I love pies and wanted to make one myself. Your post has made that very easy.

Tommorrow is my wedding anniversary and I am going to make your wonderful pie.

Thanks much!

I am glad my post inspired you and helped you learn how to make a woven lattice crust–it really is easier than it looks, isn’t it?

I like a touch of cinnamon in the filling as well, maybe a hint of brown sugar. Tasty!
