Before this goes too far or gets real weird, there are a few things I should go ahead and share with the masses. First off, yes I am a dude and no, I don't know anything about pie. I love treats and desserts, but I was 19 or 20 the first time I tried pie and let's just say it didn't change my life. Until that time I had only been exposed to the annual pumpkin pie which I never actually tried. There was just something weird about eating a decoration from the previous holiday that didn't sit right with me.
Fast forward to 2011, and I feel like it's about time that I learned how to make a pie. Why? Well, it seems like pie is hard work. I like the idea of a traditional dessert that's made from scratch - not from a mix or out of a box. I've tried to master a few other desserts but haven't been able to find one where the 'from scratch' version so much better than the mix that I end up always making it from scratch.
With pie, everyone says that the crust is the hard part, but since I have virtually no experience I think this will prove to be difficult from all angles. Besides, for me 2011 is sort of the year for fresh starts and my mom gave me the Lion House Pies book with an instructional DVD.
