To Make A Cherry Pie: You should not have to create the universe just to create a jar of honeij

摘要

"In order to make an apple pie from scratch, first you must create the universe." Carl Sagan once said that. My guess is that he said it out of irritation that his grandmother's apple pies were always vastly superior to his, despite his over-sized intellect. If she was anything like my grandmother, she chuckled at his pale, mealy, pie crust, and swore that there was no secret to pie baking. Maybe she even demonstrated her technique while he furiously scribbled notes and measured her handfuls of flour. Carl may have been feeling a little touchy and sarcastic about the whole thing, but I can relate because I too, have longed to bake a cherry pie like my grandmother's. Time and time again, my best efforts fail to compare, even when I follow her recipe.
