As is traditional in the Krieg Family home, we spent the day prepping pies. And by pies, I don't just mean 1 or 2. I mean seven. And even that was a very light year for us (just-a-bit-excessive) pie lovers.
One year we cranked out no less than 13 before 3.
While it used to be the full Krieg clan in the kitchen each contributing equal amounts to the pie creations, we've since relinquished the majorities of duties to the premier pie maker among us.
Any guesses on who that might be?
My 6'2", 238 lb, football-playing, soon-to-be investment-banking (little) brother.
As has become tradition, Sam got help from a good high school friend who has mastered the art of rolling out the perfect pie crust. The two of them spent the day preparing batch upon batch of dough, and then batch upon batch of fillings.
While they prepared the vast majority of the pies, they introduced the newest member of the family to the tradition as well - teaching Stefan how to roll the dough evenly without letting it crack.
He did pretty well, only needing a little bit of help in the transfer of the crust to the pan.
(Look at how serious that face is in the transfer. He knew Sam meant business.)
The pies all (even the one they let me roll out) turned out amazing. Our best year yet.
Do you have any special dishes you make every single year?

I have never even tried to make a whole pie. It looks so hard. Good think you have one pie master of a little brother. My mom always makes this stuffing that I look forward to every year. Great pictures! They really do look like perfect pies.
ReplyDeleteummm how olllddd is your brother exactly... and is he single cough cough
ReplyDeleteOkay, these look beyond delicious. I've never made a pie in my life, because I've always been terrified of making the crust from scratch!
