I love that you have run a triathlon, but have yet to take a nap
Happy belated half birthday!
To help conquer you fear of pie crust…may I suggest this link.
http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/rustic-apple-tart
I’ve made MANY different pie crusts, some with shortening, some butter & even one with lard! But this was by far the easiest to put together, easiest to roll out and tasted wonderful. The tart was a huge hit and I’ve used the crust recipe for pumpkin pies since then. Good luck and be sure to roll out the extra, sprinkle with cinnamon & sugar and bake. Takes me back to my childhood. YUM!
I can help you with both numbers 16 and 17. I wish I could help with the naps. Don’t think I have had any in my 39th year yet either.
