Transcript:
Mom: Sugar, please. Cathy: Sugar in pie crust?? Mom: When we're in my kitchen, we do things my way... when we're in your kitchen, we do things your way, Cathy. Cathy: We don't do things my way in my kitchen. We do them your way, mom. Mom: That's because you don't really have a wry yet. When you have a way, we'll do things your way. Cathy: I do too have a way! Mom: Your way is just to do the opposite of my way! Cathy: It's my way! Mom: That isn't a way! That's an anti-way! Cathy: If you get to say what is or isn't my way, nothing can ever really be my way! It will always be your way!! Dad: Everything ok in here? Mom: Perfect! The annual pre-turkey pecking order has just been established!

I’m not saying my way is the only way or even the right way, but it is the way, today.

So – sugar in pie crust?

My way or the highway! (I had to say it : )

We have such positive memories of our mother’s and grandmother’s food, and most of it was delicious because it had sugar, fat and/or salt which we probably wouldn’t add today. My grandparents had high blood pressure and I’m sure the extra salt in my grandmother’s amazing food didn’t help. A couple times a year is fine to indulge in delicious food that makes you happy. So go for it!

I think I would take a pass on the pie this year. :)

I know what my way is, Anne, but you’re not gonna like it …
HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, “Cathy” Clan.

Cathy’s mom is right – the ‘owner’ of the kitchen you are in decides on how things are done in that kitchen. Of course you can always reserve the right to not like it done that way but your only option in that case is to ‘get out of the kitchen’.
Warm but stormy here – rain, not snow. A good day for catching up on inside tasks. Have a fun Sunday.

This is from 1999, but I immediately assumed the costume turkey beaks were COVID masks!

I agree the kitchen owner decides, but I would never put sugar in pie crust…maybe that is what makes bakery or store bought pies seem too sweet to me.
