Oh wow, very well placed and superdeserving exclamation points! (!!) Glad to hear it was such a great time!

And in the words of our dear Izzy: I like pie! :-) and am supercurious about the making thereof in period ... all of my pie fu is inherited, starting at the had-to-stand-on-a-chair-to-reach-the-kitchen-counter age, and I'm keen on comparing and contrasting family with period. Thanks for posting!
