"What I love about cooking is that after a hard day,
there is something comforting about the fact that
if you melt butter and add flour, then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing.
It's a sure thing in a world where nothing is sure!"
__Nora Ephron
"A good cook is like a sorceress who dispenses happiness."
__Elsa Schiaparelli
"Noncooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work
in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent,
so is the ballet. "

6) Spoon molasses mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
7) Spoon the crumb mixture over the top of the pie.

and the best of intentions for whoever wants to try 'em,
but if somethin' goes wrong, don't blame the varmint.*
