Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Anyone have a good experience with the CI "foolproof" vodka crust recipe? Mine came out more like a batter than a dough, and the resulting crust was...weird. Not remotely buttery or flakey enough, basically no substance to it at all.
(The pie was still pretty damn good even with the freak crust, but I'm just wondering how I managed to break a recipe with "foolproof" right there in the title.)

This is how my day has been today...
I have had pasta for two of three meals (and one WASN'T lunch).
just sat in a meeting about gifted education. The presenter had us do an interpretation exercise of a Wiley Comic. She actually said, "It's important for teachers to take every answer with equal weight and not say things are wrong." Because the fragile flower gifted kids have issues with risk taking and perfectionism.
WHAT? You know what that results in? 12th grade AP students who try to argue that Emily Dickinson was really writing about aliens because all interpretations are valid. Just No. Being wrong is okay. It happens to most of us. Suck it up, buttercup, because some interpretations are WRONG.

I sincerely hope this was not a meeting which included chemistry teachers.

Jessica, was it super airy? Like whipped? Maybe overworked the dough?

It did, Jessica. Any teacher who teaches gifted kids. I mean, really? Such CRAP. I was so angry.

Yeah, exactly - I was very dubious about the time they wanted me to process it, and the amount of liquid it calls for, and now I'm pretty sure I was right on both counts. (Also, shortening is gross. Back to all-butter crusts for me.)

I've looked at the recipe before (we never have vodka in the house so it's not one I think to make) and I kept thinking how weird that it wanted you to handle it so much.
