You made your own crust, kudos to you. That's the hardest part about making a pie, IMO.

You've got a sense of humor. More kudos to you.

    doesnt look too bad. filling's a little runny as you said, but the meringue part looked spot on to me.

    I say forget the cherry with canned filling and go blueberry (real easy to make fresh filling with blueberries)

    pie is good, no matter how you slice it (budump bump...tssssss)

    if my hornbreaking can benefit your family with good pie, then it was all worth it :)

    I have tried numerous times. Chilled the bowl, water, but its hit or miss with me. With all the mess, and my hit or miss I would rather spend more time making the main coarse that precedes the pie;) If mom is around she can make a perfect crust nearly every time. I might as well stick a fork in my eye:eek:

    A Happy New Year Cathy for you and your family!

Or do long term members perhaps have access to friends at Polk or hold some sway with them in regards to banning - or of more concern - obtaining private information about forum members?

    Who has access to our IP addresses? Are PM's screened? It bothers me that ABX's/ka7niq's IP and geographic information was posted in a public forum. Is this something any member can look up, and I just didn't know that or is it something only those with access to the servers can get?

    On the one hand, I like the broad leeway we seem to be given on the forum, allowing us to express ourselves as we please, including criticizing Polk products, and sometimes using the F word if we choose. I do think there is some questionable material on this forum, including the tasteful babe thread. Still part of what interests me about this forum is the chance to experience a mostly unexpurgated male space so I don't raise objections to such content.

    This is a company sponsored forum, however, and therefore any content here comes with the implicit imprimateur of Polk. I certainly wouldn't want to have to explain such content if an Equal Opportunity lawsuit were brought against them. I value free speech to an obscene degree so I don't want restrictions, but if I were a stressy legal type employed by them, I imagine I'd be popping antacids, and wondering when the forum contents would come back to bite me in the ****.
