This thread was started as a spoof and so it remains. Just a little good-natured joshing. I'd delete it as being useless, but it is so much fun. (I never did like sour cream/raisin, but others did, so I reserve judgement.)OK this thread is supposed to be about left handedness in the CW but sour cream and raisin- I never tasted such a pie! Sounds awesome!
You would think he would be able to find some of her old recipes and post them on the food forum.This thread was started as a spoof and so it remains. Just a little good-natured joshing.

I would, however, like to try one of damyankee's grandmother's left-handed pies.
Know what you mean. Mom could make dinner rolls that had the threshing crews slavering to get at.From my obsevations, Pie making is not science but a art. My mom admitted that most of the time when she gave someone a reciept that she left out the difference between a good Pie and a GREAT Pie.
I have several cook books from the 1870s-1900 It would be a real challenge to make something from those directions, A pinch, A hand full , the size of a walnut, a hot oven, a slow oven, and on and on.

No one has been able to duplicate it for that very reason ... the kicker was "knead it until it feels right."
i use left handed screw drivers...Would you feel better if I told you she only made left handed pies?
Good luck with finding gramma's recipe. It was done by feel. Make crust, mix a little flour with the fruit and add a dollup of butter, and bake in a medium oven until nicely browned. A medium oven is one wherein you did not build the fire too hot.You would think he would be able to find some of her old recipes and post them on the food forum.
I agree, you could use all the same ingredients and not have a pie that tasted like hers.Good luck with finding gramma's recipe. It was done by feel.

When Mom was asked how she managed to make such goodies, she would reply that we weren't around when she was learning.I agree, you could use all the same ingredients and not have a pie that tasted like hers.
Dad always said grandma made vinegar pie!!
