2012 challanges..
Feb No Spend Challange Same as last year combined with my Feb Challange for 10 dollars per week for food.
Dark Day Challange for 2012, This challange is being hosted as a joint venture between urbanhennery and Not Dabbling in Normal, this is a challange that requires you to make one full meal once a week from within your 150 mile range over the hardest darkest months of the winter and then blog about the recipe and your wins and challanges at sourcing your items, I am making it extra hard by adding in that at least 50% or more of my dark day's meal needs to have been grown, produced, raised or butchered on my own farm.
Dark Day Meal Links
#1-Stewed Lamb Chops with Rhubarb Relish, Stirfried Veggies, with baby potato's
Independence Day Challange for 2012
So for each week, tell us what you have done in the following categories:
Plant something: A lot of us were trained to think of planting as done once a year, but if you start seeds, do season extension and succession plant, you'll get much, much more out of your garden, so I try and plant something every day from February into September.
Harvest something: Everything counts – from the milk and eggs you get from your animals to the first dandelions from your yard to 50 bushels of tomatoes – it all counts.
Preserve something: Again, I find preserving is most productive if I try and do a little every day that there is anything, from the first dried raspberry leaves and jarred rhubarb to the last squashes at the end of the season.
Waste not: Reducing food waste, composting everything or feeding it to animals, reducing your use of disposables and creation of garbage, reusing things that would otherwise go to waste, making sure your preserved and stored foods are kept in good shape – all of these count.
Want Not: Adding to your food storage or stash of goods for emergencies, building up resources that will be useful in the long term.
Eat the Food: Making full and good use of what you have, making sure that you are getting everything you can from your food, trying new recipes and new cooking ideas, eating out of your storage!
Build community food systems: What have you done to help other people have better food access or to make your local food system more resilient?
And a new one: Skill up: What did you learn this week that will help you in the future – could be as simple as fixing the faucet or as hard as building a shed, as simple as a new way of keeping records or as complicated as making shoes. Whatever you are learning, you get a merit badge for it – this is important stuff.
This is a interesting challange, a couple viewers and family members challanged me to find out if raising my own beef calf would in fact save me money, break even or cost me in the end, I thought it such a interesting thing to learn that I gave it, its own page, I might also consider doing a pig raising and or chick or ducklings or rabbit raising costs on the same page see what the breakdowns are.
I have a number of interesting challanges planned for coming up for 2012, so check in often and do consider joining in, Some will be small and short, some will be a month long and at least one or two will be year long, slow and steady will win the race..
Challanges for 2010-2011- See below..
So I was reading a great challange-eat one month out of your house here are two other folks that are working this challange right now, brokeprofessionals and pennilessparenting could they be more different and yet their goals are the same.. live out of your home with what you have, anyone else out there giving this challange a try.. Canadian Doomer and Backyard Farm is on board for the March Challange
Basic Rules are as follows
- Pets and Critters are exempt
- Pick a month and go from the 1st to the 31st
Our extra rules
- Can still shop stores for loss leaders or sales for our food pantry but it can not be used during the month of the challange.
- If DH is traveling out of town for work, those days are exempt from the challange for him.
Dh agreed to the challange but threw out one of his own.. he says he is happy to give a hand and follow along but that I need to make it seems like there is no challange going on when it comes to meal time..and that in and of itself is going make this just a touch more tricky..
So the month we picked was March for a couple reason
- Just coming off No-Buy Feb, means that we are already lean in the house in regards to fresh stuff.
- Its a long month with a full 31 days in it.
- Everything outside is still frozen solid-putting me at a disadvantage
- we are well into winter and there are a number of things that are getting low in storage as we have already been eating out of our home grown pantry for five months now.
- No Shopping extras, still can only have my regular max of 60 dollars on the coming shopping for the last two weeks of Feb, plus my regular 40 for stocking if sales are there
These factors should give the challange a bit more Oomph!
Want an Idea of what I have in the house, Gardening count 2010, an Canning Count 2010, and for a good understanding of what has been happening so far in 2011.
Just to add a little more work and to keep myself on the level -I will do a daily meal planner and to make it interesting to the readers, I will do my best to post lots of recipes and photos to go along with.
Its worth noting that DH works off the farm full time, and that I am home full-time working on the farm, there are times where we both take time off the farm related to our work jobs (but never at the same time).
So I was talking to my momma about this upcoming challange and she was all on board, turns out her farm womens group had this same challange in March of 83, and she did it herself, she said the only thing she ran out of was brown sugar and libbies baked beans, an that us kids eat her out of all her canned fruit.
One of the ladies of the group was named Agnes and she gave up in the middle of the challange, and went to the store for coffee an a few other things and Voilet (who was in her 80's at the time) said to her, "Honestly Agnes, some years we did not go to the stores at all if we were expecting.. we only sent our husbands once a year for coffee, tea, baking powder, Baking soda and salt in 50 or 100 pds bags"
Gotta love it! Following in the footsteps of my mom – again!
I am in awe of the fact that Doomer wrote out everything in her pantry
I'm just not going to do it, but what I will do is write a list of what is in the house in regards to fresh food.
March 1st
4 oranges-All Gone 3 Banana's-All Gone

The latest issue of the peer-reviewed journal Intelligence features some provocative new research. Let me quote from the abstract of Lazar Stankov's article, "Conservatism and Cognitive Ability":
Conservatism and cognitive ability are negatively correlated . . . At the individual level of analysis, conservatism scores correlate negatively with SAT, Vocabulary, and Analogy test scores. At the national level of analysis, conservatism scores correlate negatively with measures of education… and performance on mathematics and reading assessments . . .
By "conservatism" the author has in mind a kind of Burkean traditionalism, probably best described as "social conservatism":
The Conservative syndrome describes a person who attaches particular importance to the respect of tradition, humility, devoutness and moderation as well as to obedience, self-discipline and politeness, social order, family, and national security and has a sense of belonging to and a pride in a group with which he or she identifies. A Conservative person also subscribes to conventional religious beliefs and accepts the mystical, including paranormal, experiences.
The author of the study refrains from drawing any explicit political conclusions, but it's clear what many people will think when they read it—liberalism is essentially correct, and conservatism is essentially wrong. After all, smarter people usually make better choices, and smarter people are less likely to be conservative. So how are we to conclude anything but the obvious? Conservatism is stupid, right?
One could argue that smart people do not actually make great political choices. The Marxist revolutionaries in Russia, for example, probably had very high IQs. But there's a more basic reason the conservatism-is-stupid argument does not actually follow from this research. As long as smarter people are more likely to be skeptical of tradition, then full-blown rejection of tradition will almost inevitably be associated with higher IQ, even if a majority of smart people still favor traditionalism.
Consider the example of religion. Let's say that the bottom half of the IQ distribution never questions the religion of their upbringing, while the top half is skeptical. Now, just among that skeptical top half, let's say that X% end up affirming their faith and remain religious, while the rest reject faith and become atheists.
Even if the vast majority of smart and initially skeptical people remain religious—say, X=90%—there would still be a positive correlation between IQ and atheism. The correlation exists not because smart people have rejected religion—quite the contrary, in this hypothetical example—but because religion is the "default" position for less intelligent people in our society.
I wonder how IQ and religiosity correlate in a place where atheism is the default…
UPDATE: This post inspired me to write a full article on the topic.

General_Vagueness: Sparta?
Anonymous1: Nice! Would be better by adding Vasily Beloy though since they're anyways about to fuck each other in the next novel for sure.
Anonymous2: she looks like shes being forced to spread her arms and legs
General_Vagueness: I think she's getting her armor put on or taken off-- it's really heavy so they need people or machines to help with most of it.
Anonymous3: there armor weight(Was)4,000 pounds so the would need machines to take it of or put it on now it is about 1000 to maybe 1500 pounds so still its really heavy.
korblborp: @Anonymous: aactually, it was more like half to three-quarters of a ton ttotal (counting the Spartan II); it's probably under a half-ton total now...

Who's Controlling Britney Spears?
Attorney for Britney Spears, Samuel Ingham, testified two months ago that his client should be kept out of legal proceedings because "they could be harmful to her" as a result of her delicate mental state.
In keeping with his request, Spears is not present at today's hearing where her lawyers are convening with Court Commissioner Reva Goetz at the L.A. County Courthouse. The court session will determine whether or not Britney's father, Jamie Spears, will to continue to act as her conservator. Jamie's being credited for stabilizing his daughter's life and career.
Mental health attorney Terry K. Wasserman told People magazine,"I would be very surprised if the court ends her father's control so soon." Britney's legal team is expected to request that the conservatorship extend into fall of this year.
It doesn't look like Britney will be left to her own devices any time soon. The world breathes a guarded sigh of relief.

Bright straw-green; it is still at the very start of what will be a long journey, its skirts still wrapped around its ankles. There are lime and Granny Smith apple blossom aromas, and the palate has extreme focus and length, but nonetheless asks to be left alone for a year or two.
Bright straw. Vibrant grapefruit, lemon zest and chalky minerals on the incisive nose, with notes of anise and honeysuckle adding complexity. Finely etched citrus zest flavors are complicated by notes of ginger and white pepper, gaining weight with air. The energetic, persistent finish repeats the floral note and leaves a stony quality behind.
Pewsey Vale is one of Australia's leading Riesling producers, with a consistent offering of crisp, well-structured, and refreshing Riesling. They've had a string of very successful vintages recently, with repeated scores in the 90+ range. Made in a crisp, dry style, this Riesling leads with aromas of peach and lime blossom, followed by citrus and mineral notes on the palate. It is a terrific example of Eden Valley Riesling that ages well. Bright and juicy with vibrant acidity, this complements a variety of foods, especially seafood or spicy fare. Drink now through the next 5-7+ years.

Letter to the Editor: Witch hunt for Paula Deen
CORPUS CHRISTI - I am not a fan of Paula Deen's. I don't watch her show. I don't use her recipes. I don't buy her products. However, I don't think she should be burned alive at the stake either. Witch hunts were abolished long ago.

I stopped when Ruby/Sapphire first came out, but I only played Gen 2 in Jap so I stopped, plus, with the high school thing, but I did meet peeps thre who liked PKMN. I was a Senior and they were Juniors XD Then one of them lemme play their Ruby for 2 weeks as a pressie.
Then a year later, this guy had a pink DS and was painting it black and I got to play a glimpse of his Diamond game. From what I remember, he was in Celestic Town looking in the small bird-house-like thing...
Then months later, his friends done some dance in the Talent Show and the music/song they danced to, they had the weird dizzy/spinny music from the Wild PKMN theme rom the old Gen 1 games....WOW :O
ALL those little things got me into PKMN again... esp this dude I met in my Graphics class said to me about Serebii and the 'Candle PKMN' I didn't know about, so HERE I AM XD 6 years without PKMN was cool, but really great that I got back to it again <3 nya~
i'm 16 which is still a totally reasonable age to be playing pokemon

I'm almost 18. It's all a matter of preference, really. I think all the Halo and COD games are stupid. The only shooting game I like is L4D2.
I'll be gone on vacation until I get home sometime Sunday the 28th. Sorry guys.
Looking for that extremespeed linoone with adamant or jolly (when it comes out). If you're gonna get one, I'd appreciate it. I can clone it if needed.

"I halved the recipe... Increased the mustard (thanks for the suggestion!), limited the oil to a tablespoon, and added two spoonfuls of light whipped dressing. I also used water-packed roasted red peppers instead of a fresh chopped red pepper. It was fabulous. Next time I'll use a little less dill, and I'd like to try it without the dressing. ..."

Double the hurt
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 01-02-2011 - 6:42pm
I don't know if I should apologize up front for any of the potentially negative things I am going to say here. I do not mean to offend anyone, I imagine that most of us here have had these thoughts going through infertility and here would be the most natural place to vent these frustrations since there are so many out there who don't understand.
So since I am new here I'll give a quick introduction. My husband and I got married in 2000 and started trying to have a baby the year after. We tried IUI and In Vitro with an egg donor and neither worked. It was so hard to hear at 27 years old that my chances of conceiving were less than one percent. And I couldn't even have the good fortune of having the in vitro be a success. I didn't want to try again and have to go through the heart ache of having it not work. Besides, who can afford to shell out thirteen thousand dollars for every attempt? So for the last ten years I've just been going about my life pretending it doesn't bother me and pretending to be happy each time someone around me is pregnant because I don't want to sound like a jerk. And I know that those who are pregnant mean no slight towards me when all they do is talk about their pregnancy and oohing and ahhhing. Of course it is a happy occasion...for them. But all it does for me is serve to remind me that I will never know that feeling. We can and do hope to adopt, but we're just trying to get our finances in order. Of course I am not getting any younger.
So on to the topic and the reason why I titled this post "double the hurt'. My boss' neice got pregnant and was being wishy washy about keeping the baby. I opened my mouth and said "she can give it to us." and then when he (my boss) was laying out all of the options to her, he mentioned me. Months went by and I hadn't heard anything so I assumed she changed her mind and wanted to keep the baby. Lo and behold, baby was born two weeks ago and she still hasn't made up her mind, so in the meantime my boss now has guardianship. The courts won't let her take the baby because she did drugs while pregnant. Up until a few days before the baby was born I was still an option and then nothing has been said about it since. I personally don't think my boss wants to raise this baby, but his partner does. And who do you think is going to win out if it comes down to me or my boss' partner getting this child? Of course it won't be me. I tried so hard not to get my hopes up and now it feels like (yet again) another opportunity is slipping through my fingers and I am heartbroken once again. Especially since I've seen this baby, held him in my arms and fed him, and I can't help but look at him and think "you could have been mine". It is just not fair and I know that I sound like a whiney baby when I say that. But it makes me so angry, and then I start thinking about all of those horrible parents out there that pop out child after child and I can't even manage to have one? It is almost like this baby just fell into their lap and I am screwed yet again. I am so bitter and I don't know what to do about it. I went to counseling a few years ago and I just cried through the whole session, barely got any words out. I was so mortified I never went back. At any rate, I just needed to post that and get it off my chest.
|Sun, 01-02-2011 - 7:16pm
Hi Amy,
This may not be an appropriate response, but here goes. THAT ISN'T FAIR!!!! I am also 27 years old and extremely bitter myself. I've got more to say, but I don't know if I would get in trouble for saying certain things. : )

Oh I understand so well the frustration of others around you getting pregnant.
My SIL (who I am already not fond of) is pg by this TERRIBLE BF who no one in the family likes. She is on food stamps, both have no job, they cannot even afford $100 a week rent and there is suspicion he beats her. But she is going to have a boy this March. It SUCKS. Capital S. I mean this is just the worlds most unfair crap (excuse my language).
I already know all the women here deserve more then anything to get to be called mommy. In any way we can. And when each cycle it does not happen I hurt for everyone one of us. Whether it be a failed cycle or the opportunity for a child in another way it plain stinks.
All I can do is pray every day that I understand the big plan and hope that understanding gets us all one stop closer to our dream.

I had a really hard time getting over the fact that I was never going to carry my own child, even though people say when you adopt you will still have those same feelings. I know the point of adoption is to give a baby (or older child) a stable home with parents who love him/ her. But to be honest, Massachusetts sucks as far as adoption unless you go through the state. A regular domestic adoption of an infant as far as I could tell was close to thirty thousand dollars. For what? Why would the lawyer fees for an infant adoption cost more than the adoption of an older child? Who gets the money? It is because infants are higher demand and to me that is buying a baby, which is supposed to be illegal. Massachusetts doesn't allow private adoptions, why? Because then they don't get the money. So for instance if I was to adopt the infant mentioned in my first post, I would have had to adopt him through the state of New Hampshire where he was born, and fake like I had a residence in New Hampshire to do so.
And to top it off, I am the director of a day care center so I have to see pregnant people all the time. The particular center that I work in has many families with the same situations that you described with your SIL. Families who keep popping them out so they can get freebies from the state. Not everyone is in that category of course, there are some hard working families who just can't make ends meet, but each time a family comes in and says they're pregnant yet again
|Tue, 01-04-2011 - 4:01pm
Amy I am so sorry to hear this struggle has been going on so long and you are going through so many emotions. IF is so hard because you struggle through so much and society makes us feel we have to be silent through it.
I wish I could offer more help or answers. As to the adoption questions I am not sure. I know from doing my own research (very little to be honest) that some agencies say they had no age restriction but then others say they have certain criteria. I know just looking up agencies helped me understand the process a bit. I am the type of person who likes to understand everything and all options so that was big for me.
I wish people like our SIL would not get pregnant and take for granted the miracle. Or worse (in my SIL case) have a baby just so you are not alone.
I really hope that if nothing else you find the support you need here. Sometimes knowing that there are others who you can speak to and know they understand helps. I know in my case it really has. ((Big Hug))

I can tell you from being on this board for several years now, you won't be flagged for sharing your feelings. IF is so difficult and hurtful and it's easy to hate every pregnant woman you come across, even sometimes the ones that also took the IF journey. So don't feel bad for venting. Sorry you've not been successful yet, but you'll get there even if it's through adoption and you do still have a few years to go before you're "old". Good thing you were able to start young. I went 8 years before going to a fertility clinic and it took another 5 years to finally be successful. I was 40 when I finally had my daughter. So hang in there and good luck.

NEW ORLEANS -- Construction crews are on an aggressive schedule to complete Tulane University's new football stadium by next year.
Already, parts of Yulman Stadium's steel shell are in place, but the accelerated pace of the project is not setting well with neighbors.
Tulane University broke ground on its new football stadium back in January, and already the progress of the project can be seen.
'To actually see all that work coming into place and actually being built and fitting together the way it is, is exciting,' said Woodward Designs+Build Vice President Ken Flower.
The underground foundations and pile-driving phase is complete and crews are entering phase two, which included the installation of six stadium light polls.
Flower, who is overseeing the project, says they are doing all they can to make sure the stadium is completed next July, just in time for the 2014 football season.
'One of the things we are doing on this project is a lot of off-site pre-fabrication so we can accelerate the schedule,' said Flower
While the university is excited about the progress, neighbors are not happy about the accelerated pace of the project.
'They promised us that it would be five days a week and they switched it to six days a week to accommodate the aggressive schedule,' said Uptown resident Doug Ryan.
From the beginning neighbors have voiced their concerns about the nuisances the heavy construction would cause and now they say the university isn't living up to its promises.
'When the heavy construction equipment is moving about it shakes the house, the whole house,' said Ryan. 'It's like a small earthquake.'
Homeowner Michael Tubbs says it is more than just the noise that is a problem. His home has been for sale for five months, but recently he took it off the market because the new stadium has turned off potential buyers.
'When there is a lot of construction activity, pile-driving, cranes and things going on, it has literally scared people away,' said Tubbs.
The $70 million stadium is replacing the former Tulane Stadium, which was previously home to the Saints and host to three of the first nine Super Bowls. Once completed, the football team will play a game on campus for the first time in 40 years.

Tarrant County WIC/Library Plan
A Good Idea
In an effort to expand nutrition education options, the Library Plan "Read To Your Child" is offered to WIC participants whose children are six months to five years of age and to pregnant and breastfeeding women as a nutrition education option. If this option is chosen, the expectant mother or the parent and child go to their local library and read the age appropriate book on food, eating, nutrition or breastfeeding. In addition to the children's books, the breastfeeding reference books help WIC participants and the community answer questions about breastfeeding and the benefits to mother and baby.
Goal / Mission
The goals of the Library plan are to promote early literacy, parent/child bonding, and breastfeeding education in the community.
Results / Accomplishments
The Library Plan "Read to Your Child" started in 2002 with one library in Arlington, Texas. To date, the program has increased to twenty-two libraries in Tarrant County, including ten in Fort Worth, six in Arlington and six in neighboring cities. The number of WIC participants who have taken part in the Library Plan has increased steadily each year. In 2004 over 2,400 participants chose this option for their nutrition education. One of the key elements in the success of the plan is the development of cooperation and collaboration with the libraries in the community. To date, the surveys and feedback from the WIC participants and the libraries indicate the program has been an effective link to promoting early literacy and healthy eating.

Healthy Food Choices May Be as Simple as Green for Go
People are extraordinarily sensitive to visual and spatial cues when it comes to anything food-related. The layout of a grocery store can influence what we buy, and even the placement of the nutrition label on a product can make a big difference in whether we read it or not. Now, a new study uses these cues in simple new ways to help people make better choices when they grab lunch and a drink on the go.
In the first part of the study, the researchers added color-coded labels to food and drink displays in a large hospital cafeteria to indicate the relative health of each product. Green labels indicated the healthiest choices, yellow labels indicated somewhat less healthy ones, and red labels represented the foods with little or no nutritional content. Cash registers in the cafeteria were programmed to record the number of each color item that was purchased over the experiment's six-month study period.
Overall, color-coding worked well: Red-labeled foods decreased by about 9% and green-labeled foods increased by about 4.5%. The changes for beverages were even more pronounced. Red drinks decreased by 16% and green drinks rose by almost 10%.
In the second phase of the study, the researchers rearranged the food and drink displays so that healthy choices were at eye-level – a basic principle of behavioral economics – and the less healthy choices were in less visible locations, like at the bottom of the display case (foods were also color-coded as in the first phase). For example, water, low-calorie drinks, and low-fat dairy products were at eye level, while sugary sodas and similarly unhealthy products were placed low in the display. The same was done for foods like pre-made sandwiches and chips.
Changing the architecture helped people make even better choices: the red product sales fell by another 5%, compared to the first part of the study (there wasn't much change in the green items). Drink sales did even better, with red items falling by 11% and green items rising by 4%.
Labeling foods and drinks was an effective method by itself, but adding a physical change to the display worked even better. Anne Thorndike, who led the study, said in a university news release that the "intervention was so successful because it was simple and easy to understand quickly. The labeling did not require any special skills and could be easily interpreted when a customer was in a rush."
The methods used here could also be used in other settings like school cafeterias, cafes and restaurants. We all need a little help making the right choices, and effective tools to help us do so are often simpler than it seems.
The study was carried out by a team at Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital, and published in the American Journal of Public Health.

kitchen 101: how to make pie crust
I seem to start these kitchen 101 posts with confessions a lot of the time. Well, here we go again, confession time, friends.
Up until about a year ago, I was terrified to make my own pie crust. I'm not sure where the fear came from. Maybe I watched one too many Martha Stewart episodes where she lectured me sternly about the importance of cold butter, but for some reason, I thought making pie crust was pretty much the hardest thing ever.
Uh, it isn't.
It's not even close to hard. It's actually pretty freaking easy. And it is definitely one of those things that is worth the extra time to make it versus store-bought. Store bought crusts will work, but a homemade crust is life-changing good. My favorite part about home-making crusts is I have complete control over the flours. Almost all of my pie crusts are made with 100% whole wheat pastry flour. If you use a good whole wheat pastry flour, I'd venture a guess that you'd have a hard time telling the difference between it and its enriched flour brother. I love this organic flour from Great River so much that I order it specially online. That's love.
With the holiday baking season coming up soon (or right now, if you live in Canada), let me show you how to take your pies to the next level. I promise, if you make your own crust, someone will say to you, "this is the best pie I've ever had." Guaranteed.
The ingredients for a pie crust are painfully simple—flour, butter, salt, sugar and ice water. Done and done. Here are my measurements to make one pie crust (large enough for a 9″ pie plate):
- 1-1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or replace with all-purpose flour or a combo)
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 stick frozen butter <—– I store my butter in the freezer, so it's always ready for pie crust-making
- 4-5 tablespoons ice water
Next up, you want to pulse together the flour, sugar and salt in the basin of a food processor. Pulse just a few times to get it nice and mixed up. Don't have a food processor? That's cool, just whisk together the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Using a sharp knife, cut your frozen butter into small pieces. It takes a little bit of elbow grease to cut through solid-frozen butter, but keeping the butter cold is what makes the crust nice and flaky. If you prefer, you can cut unfrozen butter into chunks and then freeze those chunks. Whatever makes you happy. Just as long as your butter is crazy cold.
Add the cut-up frozen butter to the food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles the texture of small pebbles. Don't worry about getting all the butter chopped up evenly. It's more important for your butter to stay frozen than it is for the butter to be perfectly distributed. If you are doing this by hand, you'll need to go at the butter/flour mixture with a pastry blender or two butter knives, cutting in the butter until it's the size of small pebbles. Work quickly (and in a cool space if you can) you don't want that butter to warm up.
Working a tablespoon at a time, add in the ice water and pulse the food processor until combined. After each addition, grab a handful of the mixture and squeeze it together. When it stays together without crumbling (it usually takes about four tablespoons for me) you are done. If you are doing this by hand, follow the same method, except whisk vigorously between each tablespoon of water.
Yay! Your pie crust dough is done. Woohoo! Now dump the crumbly meal onto a clean work surface and, using your hands, form into a solid lump, then into a disc. Work as quickly as possible because the heat in your hands will melt the butter (which, as we've established, is a no-no). The disc doesn't have to be perfect.
Wrap up the disc in plastic wrap and stash in the fridge. It'll need to rest in there for about an hour before you roll it out. If you're in a rush, you can stick it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
After the crust has chilled out in the fridge, let it warm up a bit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes, then roll out on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8″ and large enough around to cover your pie plate. Roll the crust around your rolling pin for easy transporting.
Unroll on top of your ungreased pie plate (don't worry, there is enough butter in the pie crust to not stick). Gently push it in the plate to contour along the sides.
Leaving about 1/2″ all the way around, trim the extra crust, roll the 1/2″ under and then flute or decorate the edge however you prefer. Tada!
See? Easy peasy! And now you can make obnoxious creations like this savory pie, which is coming your way early next week.
Do you make your own pie crust? If so, which camp are you in—butter or shortening?
21 Comments
I always make my own pie crusts. And I always use unsalted butter. I don't typically put sugar in my crust though, so next time I make a sweet crust I will try it. I also sometimes put some baking powder in with my savory crusts to make it a bit fluffier. Enjoy your pie season!
Perfect!!! And now maybe you could do a similar post on fluting, haha. My pie crusts always look puffy and uneven and sad – more like pizza crust. But you've got me looking forward to what looks like a delicious autumn comfort food!
You are spot on when you say that homemade crust is life changing. I've been making homemade pecan pie for Thanksgiving since I was in middle school, but two years ago I made it with a homemade whole wheat crust. My dad went on and on about how this was the best version I'd ever made. And he always says that my pecan pie is the best so this meant a lot that I had improved it even further.
And I'm definitely in the butter camp. Shortening has it's place, but not in my pie crust.
My recipe calls for half butter, half shortening, but when really want to indulge I go with all butter. This crust you made is gorgeous! I wish I had taken pics of the kindergarten crusts that came out of my class on Monday! Not at all like yours!! They each got a tiny ball to roll out and we baked our pies in muffin tins so each kiddo got their own. I was so glad I did this because I realized that many of the kids had never even seen someone make pie. Somme didn't even know what flour was! I think I'll work on an after school cooking class!!!!
I'm so glad this does not have Crisco or any other kind of trans fat! I love my Mom to death (and her amazing apple pie with homemade crust), but the trans fat has got to hit the road!
Companies are so sneaky these days to manipulate their labels to say 0g trans fat. Newsflash – that really just means <1g per serving! It could be .99 grams, yet they are able to bare the "No Trans Fat!" label.
I have one that is way easier and it's flaky and perfect for Apple Pie…
2 Cups Flour
1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
1/4 Cup Milk
Mix ingredients together with a fork until crumbly, then form into two balls. Roll each out between waxed paper. Makes 2 crusts or 1 top and 1 bottom.
I love that you posted this today! I made my very own pizza dough for the first time last night and was like, stupid proud of myself. I've ALWAYS been so intimidated by breads and refused to make them myself. I think I thought they were way more complicated than they really are.
Weird question, have you ever had issues using a gas stove verses an electric? When we moved to our townhouse I had to adjust to using a gas stove for the first time ever, and I can't find a balance between temperature and time. I have little trouble with putting chicken or pizza in the oven, but my cookies and other baked goods end up burnt or gooey in the middle all! Any advice?
Yes! I'm pumped about this. I'm in the butter camp but have never mastered the art so I don't make pie. And of course it's husbands favorite food ever… poor man is suffering and you may have just saved his life. I owe you one.
I have the world's smallest kitchen with absolutely no counter space for rolling out, so I usually make single crust, press-in pie crusts. So easy and you save a ton of calories with only a bottom crust. You can find a bunch of recipes on google or bing.
Try freezing the butter and then grating it into the flour mixture and combining it with a fork then adding the liquid as required.This method produces a really open fluffy texture.
Thank you for posting this! I have also always had an irrational fear of making my own pie crust, so have never done so. I am in charge of pies for Thanksgiving this year and will take the dive and use your recipe. Thank you!
I made my first homemade pie crust today. It was for a German Chocolate Coconut Pie. It's chilling in the fridge for thanksgiving tomorrow. I'm not sure it'll make it through the night without sneaking a piece:) One step that I wasn't prepared for in the recipe I followed was needing pie weights. I ended up putting my foil lining in place and pouring in uncooked rice. Seemed to work good. Do you use pie weights?

Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood married theater producer Sally Humphreys on Friday (Dec. 21). The wedding took place at London's Dorchester Hotel and included bandmate Keith Richards in attendance, along with Sir Paul McCartney and Rod Stewart, who served as Wood's best man.
A friend of the couple told the Sunday People newspaper that the couple is already planning on starting a family: "Sally has always wanted to have children and thinks Ronnie will be a great dad to them now he's settled down."
"They have enjoyed being by themselves and have a real laugh," the friend continued, "but a baby is something they both really want in the near future."
This is the third marriage for the 65-year-old rocker and first for the 34-year-old bride. Wood was previously married to Krissy Findlay from 1971 to 1978, and to Jo Karslake from 1985 to 2009

Eddie Money
In 1976, Eddie (Mahoney) Money's's fate changed when he caught the attention of legendary promoter Bill Graham, who became both a mentor and manager to Money. After signing a recording contract with Columbia Records, Eddie Money burst onto the scene with his eponymous debut album in 1977. Fans immediately fell in love with Money's sound, and the album, which went double platinum, featured hits like "Baby Hold On" and "Two Tickets to Paradise." Money followed the success of his debut album with a stream of Top 40 hits, as well as some of the era's most creative videos for songs like "Think I'm in Love" and "Shakin." In 1986, Money released Can't Hold Back, which featured the classic, Grammy-Nominated duet with Ronnie Spector, "Take Me Home Tonight." The song reached number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album went platinum and also featured the hit "I Wanna Go Back.
As the years have passed, Money's blue-collar brand of Rock n Roll has managed to transcend generations and continues to move audiences today. Along with having sold more than 28 million records, Money's songs have appeared in dozens of movies and television shows, and have recently been included in hit video games like "Grand Theft Auto" and "Guitar Hero."

Brett Eldredge
Country up-and-comer Brett Eldredge has always been drawn to singers, a fact that should come as no surprise to anyone who's heard the Illinois native's soulful, distinctive baritone. "I always gravitated towards big voices, because as a kid I had this big voice coming out of me," says Eldredge. "I was hooked on the way that somebody could tell a story through the tone of their voice." With a Country Music Association Awards' nomination for "New Artist of the Year," his single "Don't Ya" climbing to No. 1 on the country charts, new single "Beat of the Music" most added at radio in its first week and debut album Bring You Back having just released on August 6 on Atlantic Records, Eldredge is finally getting the chance to share a story of his own.
Eldredge says there was no question that his passion for performance would carry him to Nashville. He had no Plan B. "I never thought of a different career," he says. "I can't sit behind a desk, are you kidding? I would go bananas. I have a one-track mind of music always going through my head." Once in Nashville he picked up the guitar and began writing his own lyrics with some of Nashville's greats.You can expect a high-energy performance at the Sonoma-Marin Fair. "I want everybody in the crowd to feel the energy that I'm feeling from them," says Eldredge

Uncle Kracker
An easy-going ability to take life as it comes has given Uncle Kracker a place in Country (with the Top 10 hit "Smile"), Pop ("Drift Away," his Dobie Gray redux that featured Gray on vocals, set a Billboard record for most weeks at #1 on any chart, topping their Adult Contemporary chart for 28 weeks), Rock ("Follow Me," from the double platinum Double Wide, was a Top 5 hit)and as a D.J./vocalist in rock/rap icon Kid Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker Band. Then there was "When the Sun Goes Down," the #1 Country hit that sat on top of the charts for 6 weeks with friend and sometimes tour mate Kenny Chesney plus the multi-format smash hit "All Summer Long" which he co-wrote with Kid Rock.
His latest album Midnight Special is country through and through - love, life, heartbreak, friends, fun, and laughing your way through it, it's all here."I started listening to country 'cause of Hank Williams Jr and 'Country Boy Will Survive.' It felt like the rap I was listening to – about life and the way it was. That led me to Charlie Daniels and Linda Ronstadt. . . I hope people can walk away from this music with something, too. People will come up and tell me certain songs mean certain things to them – and that's crazy! After all, my world isn't that interesting, or different," says Uncle Kracker.

Frankie's back in Kansas, and only Ja is sorry
When Frankie finally left the show on the June 1 episode of ''The Real World,'' I thought, Alas, poor Frankie, I knew her well. Seriously, alas: Knowing her well was a pain in the ass.
She originally wanted to just go home for a week. She was convinced that a trip to see Dave would recharge her batteries, allowing her to return and show her roomies what kind of happy person she really is. So would that be the kind of person she was when she first arrived at the house from Kansas City? Because that time she got drunk and tried to fool around with Brad. Home doesn't seem to make Frankie less of a mess, but at least it makes her a more interactive mess.
A ''Real World'' producer took her aside and told her that they wanted her to be happy, but if she went home, she couldn't come back. Apparently producers are forced to read the ''Bad Parents' Guide to Manipulation'' before accepting the job. And if they were truly concerned about her mental health, why wouldn't they let her go home for a week, in the same way that they let Hawaii's Ruthie go to rehab?
Were they worried about getting a cheerful Frankie? After all, a happy punk does not fit into any of the ''Real World'' Roommate templates. That would be like casting an 18-year-old from Alabama who already knew plenty of gay people and minorities. (The producers also passive-aggressively bid Frankie goodbye by replaying her drunken slobbering over Brad. So long, you miserable, drunken sot: Don't forget that we control the video! See you on the clip show!)
The housemates all made the most halfhearted attempts to get her to consider staying. Granted, Frankie didn't make it easy for anyone, saying, ''You've all bonded at a much different level than I have with any of you.'' I'm surprised they didn't start packing her bags for her: ''I have two questions, Frankie: One, are you sure you won't stay? And two, do you fold your clothes or roll them, because I can fit more in your Hello Kitty backpack if I roll.''
In the midst of this conversation, the issue seemed to become less about showing the roommates who she really was, and more about showing the MTV audience. Robin said if Frankie left, she'd be leaving ''them'' with the wrong impression. This global view makes a lot more sense than being concerned with what, say, Brad's lasting opinion would be. (Especially since Brad's long-term memory is one Pabst away from going the way of the dodo.)
But it was an interesting peek into the exhibitionist mindset of Real Worlders. I expected Randy to say, ''Dude, think of your future! You could be screwing up your chances of ever getting on a 'Real World/Road Rules Challenge'! Do you want to toss away the possibility of ever calling Veronica a whore?''
But Frankie left, paraphrasing ''The Wizard of Oz,'' saying that if you didn't find happiness in your own backyard, then you've never known happiness at all. But when the Good Witch said it, she meant that Dorothy should appreciate the wonder of her own friends and family. When Frankie said it, it sounded like she was thrilled to have come to the realization that she can't be happy anywhere. Thank goodness she never went to Oz, or she'd tell the Tin Man that he'll never get a heart and to just give in to the rust.
Frankie was all prepped for the grand romantic gesture of surprising Dave at his Halloween concert by dressing up as the Goth Juliet to his Romeo. This after telling everyone that her departure had nothing to do with Dave; apparently it was motivated by her love for Shakespeare. The roomies hugged her goodbye at the airport, with Robin and Cameran showing the same emotion as if they were hugging their athlete's foot goodbye.
The only one who seemed legitimately bummed was Jacquese, since he was Frankie's closest confidante. I think what really saddened him was that he never got a chance to sneak up to her bedroom door and high-five others while Frankie was having sex. Now there will always be that asterisk next to his peeping-tom statistic.
After promising everyone that she would keep in touch, she waited a few days to finally call and tell Cameran how happy she was, and that she was just ''too punk rock'' for ''The Real World.'' Was this entire experience just an attempt to prove she was punk rock to the American viewing public? Because anyone truly punk rock wouldn't have gone on this show in the first place... It's like proving you don't care about appearances by going on ''The Swan'' and then bitching about your surgery. Long ago, Frankie said she was good at two things: being sad and running away. I'm just glad I finally got to see her demonstrate her skills at the latter.

Yellow-bellied SapsuckerSphyrapicus varius
8 1/2" (22 cm). A furtive woodpecker mottled with off-white and black; male has red crown and throat; female has only red crown. Both sexes dull yellowish below. Immatures dull brown. In all plumages, distinctive mark is conspicuous white wing stripe, visible both at rest and in flight. Similar to Red-naped Sapsucker, but male lacks red nape patch, and red throat is enclosed by black; throat of female all white. Hybridizes with Red-naped in Rocky Mountains, where puzzling intermediates can be found.
Mewing and whining notes.

Young, open deciduous or mixed forests with clearings; on migration, visits parks, yards, and gardens.
Breeds from central Canada to Newfoundland, south to British Columbia, North Dakota, Missouri, and central New England, and in the mountains to North Carolina. Winters from Missouri east to New Jersey and south to Florida and Texas; also in tropical America.
This species, at least on migration, is the quietest of the woodpeckers; aside from a few squeaks and whines, it is mainly silent. It is also the least conspicuous, hitching around to the opposite side of the tree trunk when approached. Sapsuckers get their name from their habit of boring holes into the cambium layer or inner bark, letting the sap exude and run down the trunk. The birds wipe up or suck the oozing sap with their brush-like tongues. They return again and again to the same tree and also consume the insects attracted to the sap. Unfortunately, sapsucker holes damage trees and sometimes provide points of entry for fungus and other tree diseases.
5 or 6 white eggs in a tree cavity excavated by the birds.

D-Link releases the $120 SharePort Go II pocket router / hotspot with added SD card reader
D-Link's second crack at its SharePort Go portable router comes with a raft of new features designed to help road warriors lighten their gadget load. The device is designed to turn a single Ethernet connection into a WiFi hotspot (like the SharePort DIR-505) with the added bonus of a built-in battery and media sharing capabilities. The new edition gets a squared-off new look, a built-in SD card reader and the ability to share the connection from external 3G and 4G modems. It'll arrive in April, setting you back $120, so you've got a few months to work out what other accessories you can now leave at home when you're on the go.

Overall I found Pirate Cinema to be a neat, crisply written page turner.
Even if you're a little older and a lot more jaded than the members of Doctorow's prime target audience, "Pirate Cinema" offers plenty of rousing action and passionate debate. It's a strong antidote to the YA market's current glut of vampires and postapocalyptic wastelands (or vampires surviving in postapocalyptic wastelands).
Michael Berry, San Francisco Chronicle
"Pirate Cinema" is what we've come to expect from Cory Doctorow. It's fast, funny, instructive, subversive and a chilling illustration of where current policies may lead.
C. A. Bridges Daytona Beach News-Journal
Pirate Cinema successfully follows the same pattern as his previous YA novels, mixing an adventurous, whip smart young main character with a relevant socio-political theme and wrapping all of it in a fast-paced, entertaining story.
Stefan Raets, Tor.com
Running away to London, Trent falls in with a group of young, high-tech squatters and anarchists who begin a David vs. Goliath war against the establishment, hoping to free the Net for creative use by the common people. Doctorow, a noted free Internet advocate (and PW columnist), handles his topic with great passion, creating engaging and believably geeky characters who share his fervor for both the Web and the new forms of art and communication it has made possible.
Perhaps the most original theme, however, relates to the definition of creativity. Such a rethinking of this central and eternal trait of our species lies at the heart of this book, which strives to find a place in the over-regulated world for maximal expression of individual human spirit. When, midway through the book, Trent generously defines creativity in its baseline form as "doing something that isn't obvious," the book explodes into new philosophical realms. The outcome is less strident and melodramatic than Little Brother, more balanced and accepting of an imperfect world -- while still holding aloft an idealistic torch.
Paul Di Filippo, BN Review
It's generally accepted that fussing with computers is a narrative buzzkill, yet Doctorow's unrivaled verisimilitude makes every click as exciting as a band of underdog warriors storming a castle. It's not exactly Abbie Hoffman's Steal This Book (1971), but with its delirious insights into everything from street art to urban exploring to dumpster diving to experimental cinema, it feels damn close.
Daniel Kraus, Booklist
Rich characters, well-rounded -- a success as a story. For computer-savvy kids who like to think.

Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis Join RELANXIOUS
by Dave Trumbore Posted 2 years, 281 days ago
What happens when a woman crippled by anxiety meets a charismatic agoraphobe? Olivia Wilde (Cowboys and Aliens) and Jason Sudeikis (Horrible Bosses) are hoping that particular romantic comedy premise makes box office gold in their new film, Relanxious. The film will mark the directorial debut of writer Christopher Storer (Sin Bin) in a relationship comedy that explores the power of love when it's complicated by social phobias. Wilde will star as Barrett, a woman plagued by her anxiety who falls for George (Sudeikis), a man whose fear forces him to converse with her only over the telephone. As their conversations lead to increasingly serious fantasy dates, they are tasked with putting aside their fears to find a real-life romance. Relanxious also stars Brie Larson (Scott Pilgrim vs the World) and Fred Armisen (Portlandia) and will begin shooting this summer in Chicago. Hit the jump for more on Relanxious.
