I like marzipan but I don't think it would make a good pie crust for
apple, pumpkin, mincemeat or any other Thanksgiving pie. If I wanted
apple or pumpkin pie filling and I couldn't have pie crust for medical
reasons I'd eat the filling without any crust... in fact that's what I
do as I don't like pie crust... I push the pie crust to the edge of my
dish... I feed it to critters... this time of year wild birds need all
the fat calories they can get. This morning I trimmed nearly a half
pound of fat off the London broils and tossed it out off my deck,
wasn't five minutes a murder of huge crows arrived for breakfast. Most
folks don't know but there are three sizes of crows.
