Lattice Crust Blueberry Pie

​We can learn a lot about life from making a pie.  (Surprised?)  Allow me to explain.
These are the top 5 life lessons that we can learn from pie making:

1.  Life is messy - Pie bakers make messes.  Inevitably, we end up with flour all over the counter, the floor and more than likely - ourselves.
2.  Beauty isn't everything - Sometimes the most perfect looking crust can reveal a flavorless pie but a less than beautiful exterior isn't always a good indication of the flavor inside.  Don't worry if your pie crust doesn't come out perfectly every time.
3.  Home is always best - You can get pie in almost any bakery these days but nothing compares to the taste of a pie that is made by your own mother.  There's just something about sitting around the kitchen table eating a slice of my mom's pie that makes it taste way better than bakery pie.
4.  Everything in moderation - Even though I would like to believe that packing that much fruit into a dessert is healthy, the reality is that the fat and sugar content in a pie far outweigh the healthy fruit components.  It is still okay to enjoy a slice of pie every now and then - just not the whole pie.  (That was for me - not you.)
5.  Math is important - Measuring, weighing and calculating ingredients accurately is crucial to the success of a pie.  And let's face it, it's critical you know your fractions so that the pie can be divided evenly.  

SO lets get right to the pie making process...

​This pie was given away so I don't have any pictures of a slice but I can tell you that it smelled divine.  

Time to get yourself into the kitchen to start baking.

Ciao!
