How to:

How to Roll out Pie Crust when you forget the wax paper and the rolling pin.

This last weekend - Ben and I went with his parents up to a cabin of a friend- near Kamas...sorta. But it was a really cool place! On the outside had all the necessary 'cabin features': surrounded by woods, humming bird nest + babies!, river running through the back yard, a fire pit, and just chilly enough for a hoodie. The inside had all the comforts you don't find in the woods: hot tub, full kitchen, very comfortable beds, massage chair, and satellite tv. Excellent combination. :)

Ben brought up the stuffs to make a peach pie.
Except for the wax paper and the rolling pin!

Not to worry. His brilliance kicked in.

The 'cold' coke bottle had a surprisingly positive effect on keeping the dough cold (which is important in rolling it out... don't want the butter to melt.)
It turned out to be the best pie crust he ever made!
Ben's pies always taste and LOOK good :)
We need to let Elton Brown about this new cooking trick!
