The Theran Mystique - Volume 4, Issue 6
How to Make a Whiskey Pie

I don't normally find myself writing recipes or instructions on how to prepare foods, but for some reason today I was especially motivated. Maybe it's a sort of personal interest in the item at hand, I don't know. In any case, here's how to make a traditional halfling favorite (at least in my family), whiskey pie.

Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups flour
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons chilled water
2 or more gallons of whiskey (depending on taste)

To begin, combine all ingredients except the whiskey in a medium-sized bowl, and start mixing them together. Sample some whiskey to ensure its quality. Once the ingredients are mixed, mash them around until the product has a smooth and uniform consistency (this will be the pie crust). Have another sample of the whiskey to make sure it hasn't spoiled since you started mixing ingredients.

Oncze you have soMe niCelly mixzed dough, presZs it intTo a pie panh with youur fingers. Have somme whiszky to quennch that thirzst. mIxxxing is hard worrk. PuuuT the pIee cruzst in tHe ovehn.

Once you sober up enough to realize just what's been going on, clean up the huge mess you've now got in your house and kitchen. Go find that pie plate you threw out the window and replace it (before your mother or wife finds out). Get some water and splash it on your face, then sprinkle flour in your hair to make it look like you've really been slaving over a hot stove all day.

When people ask you where the pie is, tell them that it was so delicious you just couldn't share it with anyone else. Cooking is such hard work, isn't it?

Gleefully yours,
Belbris
