Just make sure the shortening or butter is cold. You can also sit down and cut the stuff in - you can do quite a bit of cooking sitting down, even though you don't always think of it at the time. I iron sitting down, when I iron, which isn't often. Look, now I am rambling in someone else's blog...oh brother. Yes, you can use a food processor. Just make sure the shortening or butter is cold.

And they're a lot easier than pie crust. Let me know if you want it, send me an e-mail. Can't wait to see your little guy!

We're luckier here in the UK, we get excellent ready-made pastry, shortcrust and puff, with only the ingredients I would use to make it at home anyway. Shortcrust and puff come in a block or ready-rolled quite thinly - my favourite! That makes life easier for me as I make lousy pastry if I start from scratch, holes, lumps, greasy bits, dry bits, you name it, I'm a good cook generally but for some reason pastry defeats me completely. My sister, on the other hand, makes wonderful pastry. Bah. I love her dearly but, yes, there's still some sibling rivalry here and there! That kosher crust idea sounds like a good one.

They don't have lard in them, they're made with some kind of shortening, so they don't have that sour vile taste. They sell them in regular supermarkets but you have to look for them. The secret is to let them soften and then reroll them thinner. I like a nice thin crust myself. The pie filling takes two seconds and there is NOTHING better than pumpkin pie. My son is a huge Thanksgiving fan, not for the holiday which is always dismal for us, but for the food. He loves turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauces, and pumpkin pie. So next week is Rosh Hashona and he asked yesterday if we were having Turkey (yes) stuffing (no) cranberry sauce (cranorange relish) and pumpkin pie (no, apple as we keep kosher). Every holiday is Thanksgiving to him. But he was thrilled to hear we're also having matzoh ball soup and homemade gefilte fish. What a mom! You gotta get a KOSHER pie shell.
