Thank you PJ for your helpful tips on pie crust!!! I just made a braised beef pie using shortening and butter and it was easy to work with. However after making an apple pie, I found the all butter was a nice balance with the sweetness of the apples. I love the vodka test! I will try for sure. I grew up right near Brown Univ and live in California now but love going back to visit RI and New England as often as possible, especially summers. Every time I make a pie, I think of fond memories of New England :) Your pie testing was so helpful!!! Thank you again!! Joan
