Hm... Also you are right on about the savings to be had by making more from scratch. If more people did it they would also save a ton! Things like poultry broth, breads, pasta and dough can all be made cheaper and healthier if you are willing to loose the convenience of buying it ready made. teeni » Really the butter made it so sweet?

My first thought in your recipe was that seemed like too much water. But good sounds like you handled it the right way by only adding a tablespoon at a time. You can lessen the butter amount and use more lard to make up for it if you want it less sweet. From scratch food is the best and honestly, I think you can actually save money by keeping more "stamples" in the house and be healthier because you don't have all those crappy, unnecessary ingredients that mass production facilities add in there. I personally hate cutting in the fat, but it is worth it when that part is done. :) For power outages - Momisodes said everything I would have. Ha - she is in MA too - no wonder. :) I love making my own pie crust. My first thought in your recipe was that seemed like too much water.

I also use ice water so I can roll it right after. We just had an ice storm here in MA, but thankfully we didn't lose any power. Definitely stock up on candles, matches, batteries, flash lights, blankets, firewood (if you have a fireplace), gas up your car, charge all cell phones, have a battery operated radio, and most importantly...stock up on water. Hope the storms takes a detour from you guys! <abbr><em>Momisodess last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Momisodes/~3/485659849/" rel="nofollow">Free Copy of Chicken Soup For The Soul- Giveaway</a></abbr></em> Nothing beats pie crust from scratch.

We did refrigerate it after mixing but only for an hour or so. It was all wrapped in wax paper so it didn't get dry at all. Next time I want to add some garlic to the dough I thought it tasted a bit sweet for my taste. maiden53 » I thought it turned out really good.

The fridge runs of propane and our generator is in there too. Luckily we still have power and things aren't too bad. We are forecasted for 1-3 inches tonight though :-( Hope it is just snow!

We use propane Coleman lanterns for light. They are more portable and less smoky than candles, plus they give off more heat. We're pretty fortunate that even though we have an ice storm every two or three years and may be without electricity for several days (one year it was 9 days), we generally do not have to deal with freezing temperatures during the outage. Do you still have the motorhome? It has a generator, right? You can run an extension cord into your house from it and run lights and your fridge. Or you can move into the motorhome for a day or two - it's a camp out! <abbr><em>Donna B.s last blog post..<a href="http://opiningonline.com/2008/12/15/stolen-from-dr-isis/" rel="nofollow">Stolen From Dr. Isis</a></abbr></em> Here’s hoping you have a gas stove and water heater.
