I suck at pastry

That is all.

Hands aren't cold enough?

I made a pie the other night and realised that I need more practice at pastry making, I'm out of the habit (it tasted fine, just the mechanics of it were less than ideal). So as this last summer was the season of icecream, I've decided this winter is the winter of pies and soup.

Yeah, I have hot hands. I even watched Alton's episode "The Crust Never Sleeps" to get some tips, but I figure coercing Sarah into showing me how she does it might work well too. :-) I know she makes apple pies....

I'm ok with guestimate scones type of things, but pastry you need to be delicate... and I don't think I'm a terribly delicate cook...

Ooh! I don't think I've seen that one!

Sarah makes them? With wheat flour? Or other exotic ones?

We have about ten CDs with about 12 episodes each. I'm going to do a burnorama, I think I am going to need ten copies of each, I swear

Excellent!

I was thinking that maybe we could make pastry as a tribe thing one day:-) Pies galore!
