Save the making from scratch of anything for when you know you have it in you...<BR/><BR/>I can't even tell you when I cooked last. Thank God my mom is here or we would seriously be running out of places to eat where they don't know us when we walk in and know what we want to order.<BR/><BR/>It's a sad, sad state of affairs. I only have one injecttion left before I start the progesterone...and it's what hits me the worst. Ugh.<BR/><BR/>Hugs.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and for the record...I hate ina garten.MBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10090873170016511220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9972140.post-1162182155438500912006-10-29T23:22:00.000-05:002006-10-29T23:22:00.000-05:00I've got a whole year of fertility medication indu...I've got a whole year of fertility medication induced maddness behind me.

How sad is that? Maybe the answer is to stick to cooking cake...cake is good...cake and clomid even have a nice alliterative quality about them.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603069251745927135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9972140.post-1162065098881782702006-10-28T15:51:00.000-04:002006-10-28T15:51:00.000-04:00Actually, sounds like this was really good therapy...Actually, sounds like this was really good therapy. Great alternative to road rage or spousal/child abuse. Taking out frustrations on dough = good. Taking out frustrations on people = bad. <BR/><BR/>LMAO thanks for capturing the experience BEAUTIFULLY. Great writing. <BR/><BR/>Now go buy some cheap a$$ cookie dough at the grocery store and dig in.KatieMchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11879680348120419952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9972140.post-1162052333024199022006-10-28T12:18:00.000-04:002006-10-28T12:18:00.000-04:00Good to know.Do I dare say good luck with the rest...Good to know.<BR/>Do I dare say good luck with the rest of the cycle?<BR/>DinoDDinosaurDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16985959777790987938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9972140.post-1162040213579318342006-10-28T08:56:00.000-04:002006-10-28T08:56:00.000-04:00Oh Kristin, I'm laughing because I've done the exa...Oh Kristin, I'm laughing because I've done the exact same thing. I've screamed the eff-word at the top of my lungs, heaved the bastard crust over my head and threw it in the trash as hard as I could. I've done this more than once.The crisco people are big fat liars. Never fail, my ass. Tom just leaves the house when it's time to bake pies for the fair.<BR/><BR/>Okay, this is the recipe that I use now. The lady I got it from wins grand champion at the fair every year, no one can beat her. (**Sneaking in to your kitchen, dodgeing dishtowels, leaving recipe on counter, slowly backing away.***)<BR/>The Best Pie Crust in the Universe-<BR/>3 c. AP flour<BR/>1 tsp salt<BR/>1-1/4 c. Butter Crisco (very cold!!)<BR/> Work this into pebbles with pastry blender. (IMO, the only thing that works. Better than a Cuisinart. A stand mixer? ina garten is on crack.)<BR/>In a cup, mix together:<BR/>1 egg and 1 Tb. vinegar and 5 Tb water. All of this needs to be really cold, too. I make it ahead of time and keep it in the fridge.<BR/><BR/>Toss in the wet stuff with a fork, gradually. It will probably look dry and crappy in places, don't worry! Squish it into 2 balls, flatten into disks, and wrap each in saran. Put it in the fridge and don't even look at it for at least 3 hours. 24 is better. This stuff rolls out like a dream, no lie. It's good for one deep dish, double crust or 3 little, shallow pies.<BR/><BR/>Hope you don't mind the assvice. This is just a trade for the awesome butter tart recipe that I need to make now that I have mini tart pans!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07471420264228948843noreply@blogger.com
