I finally made the raisin pie I'd been saying I would. It turned out really sweet, but was good with vanilla ice cream. I'm sitting here now watching a movie with TJ, Ares sleeping beside me. Really, I'm tired tonight. Achy back. Should be sleeping and not watching a movie. You know the Sunday night blues? Or maybe the blahs.
I used my Crisco crust recipe again, as I had just enough Crsico left for the double crust. I used this recipe for the pie filling. At first I thought it was going to be runny, but it turned out pretty good. I like the allrecipe.com recipes, because you can read the reviews and see if it's a well-tested recipe.
The funny thing to me is that I was listening to the old Holly McNarland album "Stuff" while making this pie. Boiling raisins and listening to 90's rock. It's kind of a good example for what I've been thinking about my life lately - all these seemingly random pieces, yet somehow I fit together as one person. It's like I've been learning about culture in my class. No one can be totally summed up by their culture, their ethnicity, their upbringing, or the groups or sub-cultures they may or may not belong to. Everyone is a unique blend of their environments, experiences, and personality.
