Thanks for your kind words, Cindy. We all have to make certain "concessions" as we get older, and this one is very easy to make. I love having a stash of frozen crusts; so nice to take one out whenever you need it. Right now I'm experimenting with "pie crumbs," where you combine flour, salt, and fat and store in a bag in the freezer. When you want pie, pour out however much you need, mix in the water, and roll: everything's already ice cold, so no waiting for ingredients to firm. Just a slightly different twist on the frozen crust disks, which I've relied on for years... Enjoy your holiday pie baking! PJH
