Pastry, as in pie-crust, works fine if you just pat it into the pie plate,and a dowel works better than a rolling pin--might be one lolling around.Poverty IS rough, but it looks as if you have it taken care of for the cookingpart!Love to you and Robbin,nTo: MSersLife Sent: Fri, December 17, 2010

Warm, definately...I usually set the heat at 66* at night, the past two days when I get up the thermostat has been at 72*, so the heat hasn't been coming on (and I have been saving power!). Yesterday (and it looks like today too) I've had to turn on the a/c in the afternoon!!!

Robbin is happy, been playing his favorite game (and so have I), he rides his bike several times a day for exercise.

I have several things up on auction on eBay, got a bid on one thing so far, the auctions end today (most will be re-listed).

Not much decorating, though, for the holidays...mostly because I HAVE no decorations, and no money to get them. Rob's mom did send over one of those electric candelabras, some garland and a string of lights, so I DO have a few things up. The candelabra is something that Rob remembers from when HE was a child! ZThe garland and the lights were new. I will return them all after the holidays.

I have a turkey breast to cook for Christmas day, I'll get a ham if I get a chance to go shopping before then. I have some black-eyed peas to make for New Year's.

Guess that's about it for now.

Oh, and cooking, I can't make pastry (no rolling pin) but if I can get to the store I will make mince-meat tarts. With the sweet mince-meat, not the MEAT mince-meat. They're easy, mom used to make them and I loved them! You just cut out 2 rounds, fill the bottom of one with the mincemeat (the stuff that comes in a jar), top with the other round and crimp the edges, bake till brown and top with powdered sugar. Easy and SO yummy!

No dowel, either. And this crust needs to be rolled as it is NOT made *in* a pie plate, they are more a tartlet, usually about 4" across. If I can buy pre-made pie crust, like the ones from Pillsbury (not in the pie, just the crust) I can make them but if I can't get to the store I won't be able to make them. And anyway, any pie crust I DID attempt to make would probably be inedible.

I have lots of cast iron frying pans but not the strength to smash dough with one.

I've used a glass jar to roll pastry. But if you can get the Pillsbury Ready Crust--go for it! SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

grandma had a old grapejuice bottle with a screw lid - she put water in it for weight

mayo jar is smooth God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.

Yes, ReadyCrust is good. I've used it myself when I'm not up to dough making and rolling. A great invention! SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
