We had some really old bananas, and I picked up sour cherries at the farmers market. I spent the afternoon baking banana muffins and and sour cherry peach pie. Whith all of my recipes packed I looked up a pie crust recipe. The best one I found was a single layer recipe - so I doubled it. Only, when I doubled it I didn't pay close attention the the units of measurement for the butter. What should have been 1/2 cup of butter was read as 1/2 pound of butter resulting in a quadrupling of the butter! The crust was so mushy I had to use handfulls of flour to roll it out. As the pie was baking I saw the puddles of butter and realized my error. It was very delicious, though too rich for my blood.

Don't tell Nathan, he might get ideas from your "slip up" with the units of measurement for butter!
My mother-in-law once said "nobody ever died of butter". I guess that can be argued, but I'll bet your pie was wonderful! :) When I make a pie, I usually cheat and buy the refrigerated pie crust. My mom has been trying for (how old am I - 32?) years to teach me to make "her" pie crust - I gave up after 1 unsuccessful attempt. Of course in my (almost) 10 years of marriage I've only prepared one pie (yikes!). :)
OMG, Rachael! If you don't remember me I'll die! I was just browsing through blogs and stumbled upon yours! Hope all is well! Much love to you and your family!
