Notes: Granny would make this pie for Grandad in the summer. He would come in from the heat of the oil field at Hulldale, north of Eldorado, and take his bath. When he was all cleaned up, Granny would have his cool pie and an ice water on the table. He and I would have a special opportunity to have dessert before supper!
