"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Personal Notes:
This recipe is a wonderful no fail pie crust. It is always tender. If you have not been able to make pie crust, try this one. I have used it for at least 20 years. If you have some pieces of this dough left over, fit in a 9x13 pan, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Bake for about 12 min. We call these pie crust cookies.
