Because it is the Year of Pie

[ginny_t]

Title taken from linzq, who had decreed that this is the Year of Pie.

So, today, she and I made pie. The lovely wonderful amazing Lindsay chose Apple-Raspberry pie to make! (She might like me.) And it was good. The pastry was almost perfect, and we erred on the side of extra flakiness. That does make the rolling a little harder, but the pie is so much better that way.

And we watched the re-make of South Pacific that came out a couple of years ago, starring Glenn Close. During the first half, while we were making the pie, I wasn't overly impressed with her performance. Or singing. But when we sat down to watch it, I realised that she did quite a good job. My only complaint was that she was a little old to be playing Nellie Forbush. But other than that, it was pretty good.

Two unfortunate discoveries today:

1. Wanda's Pie in the Sky cookbook. So many pies! Cakes & cookies! And only $22.95! But, but! No. I've splurged too much lately. It'll have to wait.
   
2. Bay St. Video, a 5-minute walk from my home, has a musicals section. A section of musicals! It's about 75-100 titles, but they're all on DVD, and only a 5-minute walk away! I was so tempted to borrow Silk Stockings, just to rip some of those songs. (I've already paid for the DVD, and Cole Porter's received plenty of from me already.)

Now, I have a nice quiet night at home. Yay!
