Pie for supper, pie for dessert

[taxlady]

I made the tourtière (French-Canadian meat pie, but much yummier than it sounds). Actually, I baked three of them. We had part of one for supper. Then we had some of the apple pie I had just baked for dessert. That's a lot of whole wheat pie dought to roll out. The crust was just about perfect.

A long time ago, I made hideous, tough whole wheat pie crusts. I asked around and got all sorts of good tips. I tried them out. The pie crust was too flaky. A piece of pie wouldn't make it to the plate intact. I've been trying to get the right balance ever since. I think I succeeded.

I'm pooped. Long day, with unnecessary excitement and chasing around getting a new car battery. Bed time now.

Good night.
