Well, no.  
It’s not a “freedom” thing, it’s a “capability” thing.

I can’t bake. My Mom bakes really well.

See?

Sorry, it’s mandatory whenever PIE is mentioned.

**FairyChatMom** , was your lemon meringue pie an **icebox** lemon meringue pie? Made with _Dime Brand_ condensed milk? Did you make your crust from scratch? Do you use your left over crust to make sweet rolls? How far is Orange Park from Seminole?

Southern joke: Hold up a finger with a ring on it. Ask, “How is my finger like a pie?” Answer, “Cause its got mah rang on it.” Hearty laughter ensues.

I believe they’re in the recipe thread we had some time back, tho I’m not going to search for it. However, I’ll e-mail them to you when I get home (I just got to the office) - just hang tight for a few more hours!!

And **Exgineer** , you can point and snicker all you want, but the fact is, I could have pumpkin pie tonight if I want it, so neener neener neener! 😛

My lemon meringue pie recipe came off the back of a bag of lemons - I’ve been using it for years. No condensed milk, and I cheated on the crust - I used one of those frozen, folded ones. I know how to make crusts, I just don’t like to. Ergo, no leftover crust.

Which Seminole?? Mapquest shows one near St. Pete and one near Ft. Waltom Beach… 😃 Orange Park is just south of Jacksonville.

**FairyChatMom** , my Seminole is the one near St. Pete. You might some day try the _Dime Brand_ condensed milk recipe–it makes a lovely pie.

Because I am invited to a lovely and wonderful Down Home Southern Rosh Hashanah dinner tonight, I currently have crust chilling for three kinds of pies, pumpkin, sweet potato and honey-cinnamon apple. I’m making two of each. My friends and I will eat pie and wish each other a sweet new year. 😃

I make a heckuva pie. I’d share with you all, but you know, I don’t know if I like you enough.

Oh, and I use my extra dough to make cinnamon twisties. Perfect for breakfast the second day. Ahh, twisties.
