Hey man, I don't tell you how to celebrate St Brigid's Day

making the dough for a double crust for the apple pie tonight.

making both dinner rolls and the actual pie tomorrow.

My wife is making custard pie, the king of all pies. So psyched. She's also making some other pies but who cares when there's custard pie

Custard pie is pretty freaking delicious

love a custard pie, but thursday is the day have my yearly slice of pumpkin pie

also i forgot to take the damn turkey out yesterday so hopefully it'll thaw by thursday afternoon, it's only 12.5 lbs so I think it should be fine

should be fine. worse comes to worst, just throw it in a bucket of ice water tomorrow.

God yes

The immediate Wease family is staying home and doing our own thing tomorrow. We’ll be having roasted chicken, ham, mashed potatoes, mac ‘n’ cheese and rolls. And damned if LV hasn’t inspired me to try to make a custard pie. We’ll see if it happens.

I’m doing it! Making the custard pie tonight for tomorrow. This is very exciting. I don’t normally do any desserts.

Well shit. Disaster out of the gate. I baked the crust as the instructions indicated and when I took it out it shrank. So I could only get about half the custard filling in the actual pie. I’m cooking the rest off in individual cups like flan or crème brûlée.

I have had some drinks

So what kind of custard pie you making? Pumpkin pie is considered a custard pie.

Vanilla, I guess. That’s the only flavoring I added. Well, I sprinkled nutmeg over the top.

You put foil on the crust and weigh it down (pie weights, beans, hell even pennies will work) and bake it for like 15 minutes. Pull it out and let it cool before adding the filling. That way the crust doesn’t shrink.
