Day 35:
Yesterday I was sick so when I woke up today I was determined to go to school sick or not. I woke up today with a crazy stomach ache instead of a headache which was good, so I headed to school. I decided to take it easy so that I wouldn't pass out or anything. Today Dallan and I made pie crusts. Rex had given me the recipe for a pie crust. 3,2,1. 3 parts flour, 2 parts fat, 1 part water. I decided to make mine with part butter, part shortening. Because I was still sick and a little bit out of it, I mixed measurements a little bit. I doubled my recipe because Rex told me I needed to for 2 pie crusts. I added 6 cups flour, 2 pounds fat and it didn't even look like it needed water. I hoped it would be alright in the end so I tried to just work with it. I got my pie crusts and chilled, rolled out, chilled again and again and again...etc, I finally got it all into pie pans and partially baked.
While the crusts were baking I made my derby pie filling with a little bourbon added in to try it out. When my crusts were ready I pulled them and out. I had cooked them inverted so they wouldn't get any huge bubbles and shrink majorly. I went to flip them and they just crumbled to pieces. They were definitely messed up and to the point I couldn't use them at all. I just threw all the crumbs in a bowl in hopes that somebody would end up using them as bread crumbs.
After that giant mishap, I didn't have any more time to make them again and just headed home. I will try again tomorrow.
