From cdt wens 30th 2000
m houser age 9, blue ribbon pie winning recipe on his first try at entering the fair's pie category.
" we never expected this." said his mother, who taught m to bake when he was old enough to stand on a chair. He doesn't have to look at a recipe and "he cracks his eggs one handed." pretty good for a 4th grader.
Why no other spices? Well m doesn't like nutmeg or allspice.
