Ma Mere's pies were not so bad. She used Me Pere's recipe, a master baker who passed away when I was a wee one. The LeBlanc family sold 5" apple, blueberry and raisin pies in their "corner store" for 15p each when I was a lad.

I recall seeing my first real scrap when I was about 4 years old. The pop guy had bought the last pie and put it on the seat of his truck. The chip guy took the pie and put 50p on the seat. What a fight! Me Mere called the cops and the lads were in bad shape by the time the cops arrived. Both of them were marched off to jail by a very large Tete Rouge (Irish) after he gave the 50p and the pie to Me Mere.

Yup, she gave me the pie.

Just goes to show how delicious Ma Mere's pies were.

Nothing special about my pies, Kendall- except the folks I make them for.

maeve I suspect what makes them impressive (to me) is probably your choice of apple, here in the UK they frequently use Bramleys!! (YeChhhh) which are fine for apple sauce , but in a pie the go sludgy and mushy and are sort of fluid slop fillings and are too sweet also. Last time I made apple pie I used a mixture Coxs orange pippins and Granny Smiths (at the green tart stage)it was closer to the kind of firmness of filling and tartness of taste that I crave in apple pie more like the German Apfelkuchen with firm chunks of apple.

Micca - come down to Sussex this autumn and you can have a sack of apples from my tree - it's a "Crawley Beauty", an old Sussex apple variety. Makes beautiful crumbles and pies, and is a sharp eater as well. The tree fruits every other year, and this year - from the amount of blossom - looks to be a good one.

I have found in my life that there is no problem that a great pie and good cup of coffee can't make right

and I have heard the rumors of Maeve's pies. She has a fan club following and I have no doubts it is the best one can get anywhere

I grew up eating homemade pies. Our yard had a lot of Himalaya blackberry vines, and we had an understanding with our mother. If we wanted a blackberry pie, all we had to do was pick enough berries.

At last, a break in the case! test results say that one spot is it, and it's squamous cell carcinoma. It has not spread and is easily removable. So, Once more into the breach!

"So, Once more into the breach!"

Well geeziz Kendall......There's your whole problem right there! What kind of Doc do you have anyway? You have a tumor that needs removed and it needs to be done in an operating room and not a breach! That's the dumbest damn thing I ever heard! I guess you may not know this but your Doctor should. Operating rooms are sterile environments whereas a breach has probably got a lot of residual gunpowder and acids associated with the shell's combustion and has got to be very dangerous in terms of future infection and other complications.

My advice would be to get the tumor removed properly by a Doc that can tell the difference between an operating theater and a Howitzer. I'm surprised you're this friggin' stupid.......damn................

The "breach" quoted is filthier than a howitzer, to wit, the walls of Harfleur, a crude opening in a stone fortification, full of dirt and dust, blood and feces, and all manner of rats and vermin.

You'd think so, wouldn't you Bobert?

Truth to tell, and as his friend Gordon once said; "For a man with no voice you can make yourself heard." Trying to keep Kendall from talking is like trying to stop the peepers going on a warm evening. I still get more backchat than any woman I know. It's lucky that I'm such a sweet natured individual, otherwise I'd be operating on his vocal cords, with my kitchen knife! ☺
