Use one of those pre-made deep-dish pie shells in the frozen food section. They're already in a pie plate and ready to go -- and if you don't tell anyone the crust isn't homemade, I'll bet no one will know. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05740371055384281988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-63314549467312580742014-04-04T14:54:57.878-05:002014-04-04T14:54:57.878-05:00Yum?

Baking has become part of work, (how many tablespoons did I put in that?) so that no longer works for achieving zen state. Now eating this pie might just get me there, with Jacquie's gluten free crust. There's only so many times you can move the same pile of dirt with the front end loader.
