After much delay and a day outside of being part of National Pancake Week, Elisabeth and I finally got around to making some fresh blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes. Inspired by National Pancake Week, we thought now would be a good time to break away from the Bisquick and bust out the 1970s Joy of Cooking. To quote Elisabeth, “The results – magic.”

Episode 7 – Apple pie
Taking a break from the main course, in this episode Elisabeth and I make some pie. With the possible exception of the sweet fried chicken recipe, I was more excited to taste the end result with this recipe than any other. Elisabeth was schooling me in this episode from start to finish as I have never made a pie. I have watched my mother make many delicious pies of endless variety but it always seemed like too much trouble to try myself (plus my mother lives a few miles away so there is always a pie opportunity should I need one).
Elisabeth, on the other hand, apparently took a bit more initiative growing up and actually paid attention to her mother’s recipe. In my first pie making experience, Elisabeth walks me though the fundamentals of a good pie. With apples in hand, Elisabeth helped walk me though my very first preparation of apple pie.
