Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
While I was teaching second grade at Molalla, Oregon I lamented my inability to make a decent pie crust. One of the "cafeteria ladies" heard me and said to try this recipe. It does make very good pie crusts, but in all honesty, I'm too lazy to use it very often and tend to purchase our pie crusts.
