In a weird mood...

I'm definitely in a weird mood.  I've been wondering what it would be like to spin and weave the fiber from a Woolly Mammoth.

I'm also in a baking mood.  I'm trying to get back my baking mojo after basically melting a blueberry pie on Saturday.  Butter crusts are tricky and when they say chill that puppy, one should really chill it.  Also, I remembered to line the cookie sheet underneath the pie with foil for today's attempt.   

Here is the pre-baked pie:

Today's pie is a four berry pie.  It's got blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries (Frozen, of course, I'm not into making a $40 fruit pie.).  It had better not melt like Saturday's pie.  Halfway through baking it I was using tongs to pick up the pieces of fallen crust.  It was so ugly, but at least it still tasted good, even if it was a tad on the "rustic" side. 

So once it's out of the oven I will post the end result.  Keep your fingers crossed that the pie carnage has ended.  I do not want to open the oven door and see a pie pan swimming in a pool of sugary, berry goop.  Granted that goop goes really well in one's oatmeal.

Ta-Daaaaa!

No berry carnage here!  Memo to self:  Remember to ALWAYS chill the crust before baking.

Yum! And, I would think that the hard part would be, apart from extinction, getting the fleece from a mammoth... ahem.

Yeah I was curious about how one would go about shearing one of those things! :)

It looks really good! And that thing about the mammoth.......It might be hard to find a good supplier!
