Colt's and Cain's

Polka dot backs on both.

Meandering on Colt's quilt.

Cain's loop-d-loop quilting.

Isabel's...(for some reason did not get a full-length photo)...

The "why-oh-why-did-I-do-this" quilting.

DELICIOUS pie I made tonight.

While DH and I were in Arkansas just a couple weeks after Branson COF, I had a slice of Ozark Mountain Pie. OH MY! The recipe was a restaurant secret...but my goodness how can you go wrong with coconut, chocolate chips, and walnuts? I just don't know what to name my version...

How about: "Does this make my butt look big?" LOL

I love them-they look great!! Whatever is wrong with your quilting I'm not seeing it. Good job!!

Pam

What a slice of the pie looks like.

Love the quilts! Peeked at your blog, and the cypress picnic table is pretty special also. Need to clean the drool off my keyboard. Are you sharing your recipe?

TY As soon as I can come up with a name for my pie...I'll post the recipe. (I wrote it down as I went along and left it at home anyway so can't post right now.)

Oh...any suggestions on the name of the pie?

When Harry Met Sally Pie

When Sherry Met SEAN Pie!! (As in Sean Connery!!)

LOL

Sherry's Ozark Mountain Pie

Since I was born in Texarkana Arkansas - Sherry's Birthright Pie...

Any suggestions?!

To Die For Pie?

The quilts are lovely. The kids will love them.

But I am distracted by that PIE! Right now I think you should call it "Sherry is a big tease" pie! LOL! But "To Die for Pie" has a nice ring to it too.

The quilting on Isabel's quilt does look good...for the most part...it was just so time consuming. I did not think I would ever finish it.

I'm home.

Sherry's So Good It Does Not Need a Name Pie

1/4 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup Karo
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup coconut
1 cup walnuts, chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar. Add Karo and vanilla, mix in. Then add eggs and beat until all is blended in. Stir in chocolate chips, coconut, and walnuts. Pour into a prepared pie shell. Bake 40-45 minutes.

Note: I used dark chocolate chips, but you can use milk chocolate chips if you prefer.

My new crust recipe. When I got my new KitchenAide food processor last year I searched for a pastry crust recipe. So flaky it melts in your mouth!

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pulse a couple of times to mix.

8 tablespoons of lard (I weigh it - 4 ounces)
Cut into chunks and spread on top of flour. Pulse 3 times counting to 3 each time.

Run and sprinkle in three tablespoons of ice cold water. This comes together real quick. Turn off. Gather up into a bundle. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill at least an hour.

Note:
You can use shortening instead of lard. Some of the fat can be butter, but butter tends to toughen the crust.

(I made the mistake of reading the recipe out loud once while DH was talking to me in the kitchen. Pulse 3 times at 3 seconds each. He let me know real quick that counting to 3 was not 3 seconds. I told him this wasn't rocket science...)

Beautiful quilts and nice,nice quilting...but that No Name Pie is Sinful

Wow- I'm calling it Sherry's Sinful Indulgence Pie! If I put a carrot stick on top can I pretend it's healthy?

Ooooh....I like Sherry's Sinful Indulgence Pie!!!

I took a slice to Da Judge this morning. She ate it mid-morning with a cup of coffee and bragged on it. This evening while DH and I were finishing supper he asked if I took the pie to work. I looked at him and told him that I took Da Judge a slice but that every time he walked through the kitchen to his office and out of it today - he passed by the pie on the kitchen island. knock-knock...anybody home. LOL He looked funny but did say that he had spent most of the day outside.

Sherry -- just a little nit here. For that pie crust, you use 1 1/2 cups flour and a 1/2 teaspoon of flour????? What might that second ingredient actually be, huh? I might just want to try this and wouldn't want to waste a morsel of these wonderful ingredients.

FFG, I fixed it. Should've been salt.

Oh my I could actually smell the pie ..........got to close the screen......oh by the way got idea from your quilts what to do with the misc swap Tisme just had......thanks love the quilts

Thank you for the pie recipe! It looks so good. I think I will take it to Thanksgiving. Yummy!

Hope you didn't ruin your monitor trying to scratch and sniff.

Ozark Mountain Pie

Pie sounds similar to German Chocolate Pie. Can't wait try it!

Made it for Thanksgiving and it is delicious- a keeper (recipe) for sure. Thanks

Glad you liked it! Ahem...what did you tell your family that it was called? hmmmm????

This sounds so yummy,will have to give it a try.BIG BUTTS PIE!!!!!

Is that light or dark Karo in that thar Big Butt Pie?

I have coconut & choc chips "leftover" from cookie baking. Hate it when that happens, but a pie like this could solve that. IF I hadn't burned up my food processor motor making quiche crust. Not sure I could "sprinkle while I run" without a food processor...how much should I drink first?

I had light Karo on hand. And just FYI...I stock dark brown sugar...go figure...

Big Butt Pie! LOVE IT! Oh...probably a good-size glass of wine. Do you have any goblets from the 1950/60s left?
