Do you live in a palace? If not, I vote no.
Well, there's a good chance they'll be staying with my sister, as she has more room, but it's just stressful, frankly. They stayed with me for ten days in June and I was fit to be tied by day 3. Much of it has to do with my mother, who has multiple health issues and yet will not eat healthy, despite repeated directives from her doctors about whole grains, cutting back on dairy and fats, and so forth.
And now my sister's got a new very stressful job, with a lot of extra hours, so she's not going to be jazzed about having them stay for very long. I did tell them that three weeks may be too much, but they need to talk to her. Because I'm all about passing the buck.
There's a major clusterfuck with the computers at work. I'll have to go into work later tonight.
Oh, ugh. That definitely sucks.

It sounds like it! Man, I love my parents and generally have a good time with my family, but I'm still coming back from Thanksgiving on Saturday because four days in a row is PLENTY.
I really want to try that CI pie crust. It's pretty close to my standby crust, proportionally (I do some amount of flour, half that of whatever fat I'm using and half that of water) though I think it's got sugar and I don't use any at all and all of that putting some in th efoood processor and then doing something else sounded awfully complicated. I do have a consistent problem with rolling out, so if the vodka helps with that I will be thrilled.
I'm at work now. This really blows.
This really blows.
And not in a good way, it sounds.
That really does Tom. I hope it gets settled soon.

Cope~ma for Zenkitty and family.
Also, best wishes for Devi's recovery.
anybody want to post a recipe for the pie crust?

Seriously.
Pie is out of oven. I put egg white on the crust, which caused it to brown maybe too much. I won't have anything more to report until it cools.
My previous pie crust recipe was from CI--I think it's why I signed up at cooksillustrated.com on Betsy's recommendation. Took more muscle than any I'd used before, but that fucker was flakey good. If they think this one is better, that's pretty cool.
