Thanks to the thoughtfulness of Nanook I'll be able to postpone the frustration
a bit longer. Beyond the pie recipe there are a number of other treasures
locked up there.

I had one of those for a bit. If everything was not done perfectly they liked
to leak. Not badly, just enough to make you use words.   Bv)=  My favourite
rolling pin is a rock maple thing that I put in the freezer for a bit if I'm
going to get serious with the pie crusts.
