When you learn how to make pies from the master.
My mom bakes every day- every day, she makes cookies, pie, cream puffs, or something in that sweet order and from scratch.
And even though she can make those sweet things with her eyes closed and turned around backward
she still followed the recipe to the “t.”
My mom doesn’t take shortcuts or deviate from the recipe; her 86-year-old hands move gracefully.
My mother made a blackberry pie from blackberries that she picked last summer.
My mom freezes her measured blackberries in four-cup bags ready to use.
Gabriel used the leftover pie dough to make his little pie-
not quite the same, but we didn’t tell him that.
