The point here is Christian food. None of that slop from Iberiastan.

In Christ

I have NO idea where that country can to be...but here in SPAIN we have the best food of the world Mr Porter, including our pies. You should try them some time. You'd love to meat ladies like myselve and my sisters just to try it. Really, you would thank us for it.

Oh my... I... I am speechless

I’ll need to pray really, really hard to get this mental image out of my head. I’m just a mortal man after all; don’t do that me, Maria.

Dear, I did't mean you, ofcourse it's easy to bake and clean if you now how to, but if you haven't done it before... well then it must be hard.

The trick is to start by learning to cook a few things well. If you dive into trying to master too many recipes, you'll just get confused.
It takes time to work through learning to cook many different dishes, which is why girls should be started in the kitchen as early as possible!

Now, your husband may be disappointed that you only know how to make 4 or 5 things, but if you make them well, invite another couple over as often as you can. Then you'll be invited over to their house for dinner, which will give your husband some variety as you keep up with learning new things.

Most important: Whenever you eat something good, do whatever you have to to get the recipe. Don't go experimenting. Pursue what you know to be good.

Also, buy this. Then you can serve fruit and nuts and a charred pidgeon or something when you burn a caserole.

Here is an easy pie recipe for you to start with: NO BAKING!

Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie

1 8 oz. package cream cheese
1 cup (or less) powdered sugar
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. almond extract
1 pre-baked pie crust (regular or graham cracker)
1 pint strawberries (other berries may be used instead)

Blend softened, room-temperature cream cheese with sugar.

In another bowl, whip cream with vanilla and almond extracts.

Fold cream cheese mixture into whipped cream, and put mixture into pie shell.

Put fruit on top and refrigerate for a few hours.

Note: This is very sweet. Experiment with using less sugar, if that's to your household's taste.

PS: With a few blueberries scattered on top of the strawberries, this makes a very patriotic-looking dessert for 4th of
July, etc.

Thank you to everyone for all the helpful advice, and thank you Mistress Cookie for the wonderful (and easy to start with) pie recipe.

Dear Child, if you will post a picture of your strawberry pie venture, I will post some more good recipies.

Good luck. Buy enough ingredients to make 2, just in case one...fails you.

We're all on the edge of our seat, as you walk into the Valley of Cookery!

Cooking classes are often taught by queers.

Didn't your mother teach you to cook? What's wrong with her?

My mother's a liberal feminazi who worked outside the home and divorced my drunk father.
The only person in my family with True Christian™, Baptist, Republican morals is my 2nd cousin's wife, and hardly anyone in the rest of my family has any contact with her or even likes her. Unfortunately, do to some horrid jokes that I've said in the past about her (during my pre-repentance days), she refuses to talk to me or accept any messages from me.

Don't let that keep you from buying strawberries, today. She's taken enough from you.

Where's pics of that pie?

[Kristin Marlow]

The pie came out pretty good!

[Mistress Cookie]

This looks excellent! I am impressed you chose to bake your own crust!

Very very good.

What did your father say? Was it a success?

If he liked it, make the pie again, so you really get a feel for how it goes together. (You might also ask him if he would prefer blueberries, peaches, blackberries, or what-all-else instead of strawberries.) I will post another no-bake pie recipe tomorrow, and you will be building up your recipe stash.

Congratulations! This looks like a very fine start, indeed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Now that you are an experienced pie-woman, I shall ask you, as one confectioner to another...Do you think that recipe is too sweet? Or just right the way it is?) (This is not a trick question. We must all band together to be on the lookout for improving our recipes.)

[Humongous]

well, it's downright good to hear that yous thinking about bettering yourself, Sister Kristin! education never stops, ya cotton? i once signed up for a cooking class my own self down at the Defeated Tennessee Community Adult Learning Annex? well, them eggheads kicked me out of the class cause i kept bringin in my own meats. they kept sayin it was unsanitary to bring in decaying roadkill? well, nuts to that, I didn't even get them dead animals from the road anyhow!

[Georgina]

take a class!! the televisions Ive heard from my neighbour broadcast all sorts of homo-erotic and foreign blasphemy, and this extends to the cooking shows. we dont own a tele-vision but one family in our town does and everyone reckons they are closet muslims one show called jamie oliver is done by a man!!!!! this seems to be challenging the Holy Bible's view on gender roles and on the husbands authority. classes will be safer i would assume.
