Aw, Corwood, that's really difficult.
I am making an apple pie using the December CI's pie crust recipe. Secret ingredient:vodka!! I was planning to make pie today anyway, but when I saw this recipe, I had to try it.
Also, Pushing Daisies is on again. I think I have the same paisley shirt that Emerson does.
vodka in the pie crust? REALLY? Wow.
I went to a softball game and say nieces team get hammered (14-1!), and then went to Target, which is just... dangerous. OTOH, they had my current favorite drinking red wine (Folie A Deux winery's "Menage a Trois", a nice blended red), and I bought a bunch of little containers for my toiletries when flying. I'm traveling too much this next month to check my luggage every time. So inconvenient.
Okay, and I just went to the TSA website, and WTF? Three-ounce bottles? So why the hell is Target only selling four-ounce bottles? Argh!
Yeah, it's all a conspiracy with the Trial Size Industrial Complex.
How wrong is it if I reschedule my career counseling appointment from tomorrow night because I don't feel like doing the homework tonight?

Don't be surprised if they come back with "fry cook" as your ideal career choice.
Ha! I'm going back and forth between: am I committed to this or not, and I'm paying her good money, so I should get the most out of it.
Crap. Maybe I'll just buckle down.
Corwood, I am incredibly sorry for your family's loss.
Jesse cracks me up. Do your homework. Go the appointment.
my tummy hurts.
It's possible I'm not actually in the right frame of mind to be doing this.

Take one with you, put it in the regulation quart sized bag, hope they don't notice that it's 4 ounces.

The theory is that you need to add liquid to pie crusts to make them malleable enough to roll out. But adding water increases the gluten, which makes the pie less flaky. But Vodka is 40% alcohol and 60% water, and the ethanol inhibits the production of gluten, so you get to add 40% more liquid without losing any flakiness, and making the pie easier to roll out.
However, it's one sticky pie crust, so I'm worried a piepocalypse is nigh.
