Watch Out Martha!
Yes, we have a replacement for Martha Stewart - Me! After all, we'll need one when Martha spends her time in the pokey. And based on my pictures below, I think I am the obvious choice. (Warning: this post really nothing more than me gloating about my kitchen skills. If you don't have the stomach for my blatant self-promotion, please go visit Dana, Laura or Erin's sites through the links on the right.)

As many of you know, I have just about every cooking gadget known to man (even though I am rarely home to cook). But I do use them when I can. One of my most recent items was a gift I received for Christmas: a tool from Williams Sonoma to make lattice topped pie crust. Yes, I know it's silly and I freely admit that I have baked something like 2 pie crusts from scratch in my entire life (including the one below - actually, it might have been my first). But I had to have it. And I think it was entirely worth it.

Here is my Beautiful Pie before baking. Just look at how perfect the lattice top is!!

Here is my Beautiful Pie after baking - Still beautiful!!

And here is the not so Beautiful Pie after we got our hands on it:

Even though the lattice maker thingy really is sort of cheating, I think my Beautiful Pie came out fabulously. And I must admit that the crust was quite flaky and yummy. Plus the dough was tasty raw. All in all a very good thing - oops! I'm already acting like Martha.
