Pa Dutch Sailors;
 

Scott and Scout;

Just wanted you to know there will be a Dutch Tradition at Christmas
Dinner today at my Son's Home.

I've baked three pies; An Amish Apple, a Raisin Pie (Funeral Pie) and a
Cherry.

I became a real fan of Pa Dutch baking and missed it so much here in the
NW. I learned to bake their pies after my wife died. I've gotten pretty
damn good at it. Enough so. that I get requests for the pies. Even from
the Bellingham Police department. ( My Daughter-in-law works there)

Scout, I lived in Philly for thirty-two years.
Twenty of them in Lower Bucks ( Blue Ridge Section of Levittown) Worked
for the Atlantic Refining Company on Passyunk Ave. Commuted on I-130.

Merry Christmas Thom,
Count me in for a slice of each pie! Don't forget the shoo-fly though, it's
my favorite of the Amish varieties!
I grew up in Indian Creek, right across from you!! I was on Inwood Road,
I'll be we weren't more than a mile apart. How 'bout that! I went to
Immaculate on Emily Road, then Bishop Egan, then Woodrow Wilson.
Re Arco: You probably knew some of my steamfitter brethren at the refinery
(L.U. 420).

Sounds good Thom. We had a nice family gathering at my Moms house.
Turkey and all the trimmings. She made apple pie and pumpkin pie and
we imported a pecan pie from VA. Oh, and two big cans of Christmas
cookies.

I learned to make sweet potato pie when I had to move away from some
sweet little old Baptist ladies who used to cook for me. Over twenty
years, I've learned to make it well enough that friends & nephews rave
about it (it's rare for a pie to survive a sitting) but I still haven't
gotten it quite as good as they used to make.

I love rhubarb pie too, but it's a rare commodity this far south.

CM,

A good pie but this is Berry Country out here and they make a
Strawberry-Rhubarb pie with a struesel topping that is ; "to Die for!!!"
It is one of my favorites.

A fresh Crab Louis and a piece of S-R pies is one of the Summer favorite
meal on "Pneuma" during summer sailing/ crabbing season. Served with
instant Folgers. Right Scotti

Ole Thom
P/S What kind of Shoo-fly Pie? Wet or dry bottom?

Hey CM,

I make a pretty damn good "Bisquik" Rhubard Dumplin in a sauce that is
pretty easy. It is a returning home treat after a winter's sail. I bake
them on the "Heat Pal" in the Dutch over but have been known to be baked
at home, for a Sunday Brunch.

If you're interested I'll pass it on to you. At this time of year I use
frozen Rhubarb.

Ole Thom

Wet bottom Thom, it's gotta be gooey!

Coincidence.... I just had Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Last Night.... I agree
with your review! It's excellent!

Darned right..... post the recipe!

It will be a change from the Apple Crumble I usually cook up. I've got about
10 lbs of frozen Rhubarb from the garden.
