Apple Pie and freedom.

I'm making up some crusts right now for my Thanksgiving apple pies. At the moment I'm waiting for the butter to chill. Really cold butter definitely makes it easier to get to the "grainy" consistency Martha is calling for.

Actually the big news is that I'm posting this from my re-configured PC running on Ubuntu. Not that anyone really cares. But I find it interesting. Anyhow, after a couple hours of fiddling around I've finally got the wireless connection working. What I really find cool is that there are a bunch of people out there who in their free time have developed a operating system that has all the basics: word processing, spread sheets, photo editor etc...and it is all freeware. I'm Microsoft free, for free.

I love how you're so politely sticking it to the man.

Well, usually I love to make desserts, but Thanksgiving is the one holiday where all the effort gets concentrated on making a lovely vegetarian feast--and letting someone else do the pie. This year I ordered a blackberry pie from the Pie Bird Cafe in Fruitland, MO. How could it not be good?

Good luck with the crust!
