I am a pie baker. In fact it has been said that you should not move too slowly through my kitchen or you will end up in a pie! Every time I cut the sheaf of wheat design into a top crust I think of my mother and grandmother who used the same design. Alas, I have no daughters with whom to share that pattern, but I will be sure that I share it with my beautiful granddaughter, who is becoming an accomplished baker. .
