…..and pass the ammunition.

The secret is in not touching the dough.

Padre should be eating angel food cake.

Lardy, Lardy!

Such piety.

either the man is too polite or Roz outsourced the food somehow!

One of my great grandmothers used lard in her pie crusts and they were the best!

My mum used butter in the crust she made, lard falls way behind in taste!

This is one example our choir director used to remind us to enunciate – so that “Praise the Lord!” did not come out as “Praise the lard!”

Roz’s Miracle Pies, if it tastes good, it’s a Miracle.

I look at my waistline, even though i am dieting, and say “the lard works in mysterious ways”

Most ‘people’ would think it a wonder that Roz’s pies could be eaten—at all ! ! ! !

Love a good pun.

So, the Padre is Irish!

In the 50’s my Mother would buy lard by the brick for her cooking. Been fighting my waistline ever since. Not entirely her fault, beer drinking and my own unhealthy habits are significant contributors.

With Shoe and Cosmo as customers, there is plenty of lard on both sides of the counter at Roz’s place.

….and pass the gravy!

Even the Lord is smiling at that one…..

If you..or your spouse..is still making pies, God bless! Lard, Crisco, butter: who cares! ? Just enjoy a home baked pie..! ( yes, dearest: I love your pies! )

He’s praying for survival.

It’s a cheeses crust.

My grandmother made some of the best pies and then tought her daughter, my mom, and I had pies for a longtime. My mom also had help from a lady that was a world champion pie maker at fast food joint. My wife’s mom made pies also so I had pies galore and enjoyed them over the many years. Alas a good things come to an end, my wife never took the time to learn how to make pies. I am left to buy pies at the store or where I can get one from some place that serves homemade pies. Maybe I should have tried to learn how to make them!

Lard with a dab of butter works wonders on a home baked pie.

If she puts squeal in the food, either meat or fat, I don’t want any.
