Tom Bakes His First Pie

Yesterday, I decided to bake a pie.

Not just any pie…my very first pie.

I was surfing the Internet for cooking "How To's" to add to my recipe database. I found a series of tips and techniques on making pie crusts, and one of them included a basic recipe for peach and strawberry pie. So, on a whim, I decided to make a fruit pie.

Okay, I’ll be the first to admit I didn't make the pie crust dough. My mother did. She makes 8 or 10 pie crust dough balls at a time, refrigerates them, and uses them whenever she makes a pie, which I'm happy to say, is often.

So, when I got this urge to bake my first pie, I went to my mom's and picked up a couple of dough balls. She gave me a few hints about rolling out the dough, and I did the rest.

Here's the final product of my efforts.
