No egg in pie crust. Anathema.

Flour, cold lard and ice water.

But you can use an egg white wash on top for a nice golden crust.

My last burden will graduate from BSU in 2 weeks.

My youngest graduated last year, has a job somewhat in her career choice and is still at home. Debt free as well.

Happy that both have accomplished this task. I will let them stay here a while longer because I don't have any of their college debt either.

Have fun at the boring graduation!

This is for audiophiles who have to equipment to bring uncompressed audio to its finest. This is my dream set up, but for now, just using wav format or flac.

Yeah, lime green shag carpet of the early 70s was anathema. I’m pretty sure it was the precursor to pastel leisure suits, which were an inevitable outcome after bell bottom jeans. And, of course, eventually followed by the mullet hairstyle.

It’s unclear though the correlation between shag carpet and the Ford Pinto. The shag carpet craze originated in the late 60s, but didn’t really catch insanity levels nation wide until after the introduction of the Ford Pinto in 1970. So it’s difficult to tell whether the Pinto is responsible for the popularization of bright-colored shag carpets of the early 70s, or the other way around.

I don't know if there is any correlation or causality here, but the 1977 Ford Pinto Cruising Wagon was part shag wagon, part panel delivery, and part economy car all rolled up into one little rainbow runabout. The mag wheels, rear bubble window and wacky striping made it the funkiest Pinto Ford had ever produced and one of the most unique-looking offerings from any car builder of any era.

By 1977, there were no true muscle cars left on the market, there were a host of cars that tried to look the part, or at least look cool. The Cruising Wagon was an attempt to snag buyers who may have been looking for something that looked sporty and fun to drive, had some room to haul some stuff, and yet was still cheap on gas. If it was meant to help curb the steady retardation in Pinto sales from a high water mark of 544,209 in 1974, it failed, as production totals sagged to just 225,097 in ’77. Of those, only 10,029 were Cruising Wagons. The following year, only 5,329 CWs were built. After 1979, Ford had given up on the idea.

Butter is better. Lard pie crusts aren't all that much better than shortening. Crusts made with real butter in the hands of a true expert have a better flavor, and just the right amount of flaky goodness.

Butter is for Quiche crusts.
