Chicken and Pie

My grandmother taught me how to make pie crust and "chicken and dumplings" while I was in Texas a few weeks ago. Two staples in the homemaking world, as far as I am concerned. Ever since I've been craving chicken and dumplings...though have not had opportunity to make it. I have, however, had the opportunity to practice my pie crust. For our Thanksgiving feast up at Eagle Rock, everyone helped prepare in some way. I signed up to help one of the girls with her mom's "French Apple Pie" recipe...not knowing she had never actually made a pie before. Thankfully, detailed instructions on how to make pie crusts were fresh in my memory. The pies turned out great and we had fun making them! Thanks, Grandma...and thanks, God!
