So, while in NM, Jenny had the assignment to make pies to fatten my Dad up. I don't think she knew what she was getting in to! The poor woman ended up making 3 really big (and delicious) Cherry pies. Not to mention the salmon, various green salads, fruit salads, tacos, Chicken and broccoli casseroles, burritos, spaghetti... well, you get the idea. (I just don't know why nobody will ever go to NM with me... hmmmm). Anyway, we were shopping at Wal-mart for pie ingredients, and I told Jenny that Crisco is really bad for people (It is true, the human body can't digest or process hydroginized oils). So, we decided to buy lard... you know rendered animal fat. YUMMY! No really, it was absolutely delicious. Nicole and Megan made cinnamon sugar cookies with the left-over crust, and they were super yummy too. I just licked the packaging clean after she was done with it. (That part was a joke people). Seriously, if I ever make a pastry, I will be sure to do it with lard. Nothing tastes quite like LARD!

Yum! actually I'm sure those pies were delicious.
Hey it's all good if Kelly wants to come on Saturday. If you have extra bone folders of other of what she asked for will you bring so we can share.
Woo Hoo I'm excited!
I wish you invited me to your Pie Party! I love anything that goes straight to my hips! Sounds like you are a slave driver!
Jenny your pies were great. As you know everyone enjoyed them, not a crum left. We enjoyed having all of you for the week. You can come anytime you would like! You were all such a big help and GOOD COOKS!
Hey as you can tell I have not been blogging lately. When I saw this post, it made me laugh. I really miss you. We need to get together. My girls want to fight over who gets to hold Owen. I still need to do a post about the 10 things I learned from my Cousin. The thing is blogging is going to have to be postponed until I read Breaking Dawn.
