Talk about timely. Today's newspaper (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) featured an article about cooking for 2 by Food Editor Daniel Neman. I emailed him, telling him of my one-person campaign to get a quality 7" pie pan. This is his response: "I hadn't even heard of a 7" pie pan before, so you have opened up a whole new world to me. I just did a little math and determined that your pie is about 40 percent smaller than a 9-inch pie (38.5 square inches, compared to 63.5 square inches). So that's perfect. I do hope someone does start making a good-quality 7-inch pie pan. I think the world is ready for it." So now I am a committee of two.
