Anyone Can Make It Pie

Raspberry leaf Tea

By:

Roger Tim Johnson

To make your own:

First find some Raspberry bushes,

...Wild, or Tame,

Red, or Black.

When the leaves are nice & green, in the spring,

pick some and let them dry.

To speed things up, use a food dehydrator,

or as I do....

In this way: ...

Place leaves on cookie sheet, apart from each other,

set in oven at the lowest heat possible,

and leaving the oven door open.

Keep a very close watch on them.

When completely dry, & crispy, remove from oven.

Very carefully pick up the dry leaves, one at a time,

& crinkle them up in a large mouth pint canning jar,

or any other air tight container.

Your tea is ready for use.

Fresh Blueberry Pie

By:

Billie Johnson

2 c. Blueberries

1 1/4 c. Sugar

2 1/2 to 3 Tbsp. Corn Starch ~ (I use 3 Tbsp.)

1 Tbsp. Water

Boil until thick,stirring constantly.

Add juice of 1/2 Lemon & cool.

Fold in 2 c. Raw Blueberries.

Pour into BAKED Pie Shell.

Bake pie at 350 until done.

Serve with whipped cream, or ice cream.

I think ice cream tastes the best with it.

NOTE:

This will be very dry when you first start it,

but as the Blueberries get warm, they give

off enough juice.

In fact, when I wash them, I also dry them between

paper towels as good as I can, so as to not get

any moreWater than the 1 Tbsp.

STONE SOUP

A man came wandering into a small town one day, who was very hungry since he hadn't eaten for many days. He decided to ask the people of that town for a small amount of food, just to keep his strength up. He knocked on the door of a house and asked for a bite to eat, but that person just said, "No, I don't have any food for you!"

He went to another house, but this person only shook his head, and closed the door. Then this very hungry man went to another house, but that person just said, "Go find your food some place else!

It seemed like there was no one in this small town willing to help, but he was so hungry that he could not go on his way without food.

Then, as he was walking through a small camping area, he found an empty kettle. He washed out the kettle, and put some water in it. He had nothing more to put in the kettle, so he decided to wash off this stone that was near by and use that to make a broth. As it started to cook, a curious person stopped by and asked, "What are you making here?" The hungry man replied, "Stone soup." The curious person asked, "I Never heard of that kind, is it any good?" The very hungry man said, "Yes, it's all I have." The curious person then asked, "Could I taste it?" But the answer he got was, "Not unless you add to it." Being that his curiosity was so great, he ran home ,and came back with some potatoes and put them in the kettle.

As it was cooking, another person came by to see what was being made. The hungry man just replied,"Stone soup." This person also asked if he could taste it. The only answer he got was, "Not unless you put something into it." So this person also went home, and came back with some left-over meat from the day before, and put in the kettle.

Then another person stopped by, "That smells kind of good, could I taste it?" The reply was the same, so he went home and came back with some tomatoes, and put them in the kettle.

Then a lady came by and said, "Whatever you're cooking, it smells pretty good, could I try it? Like the others, she was told, "Not unless you contribute to it." So she went home, and came back with some spices to add to it.

Another lady stopped by and said, "Mm mm, that dose smell good, could I have a taste?" "Not unless you put something into it," was the reply. She quickly went home, and came back with some onions and put them in the kettle.

They all sat around the cooking soup kettle, and started to get quite friendly. When the soup was done, all who contributed to the soup, including the very hungry man that drifted into town, had plenty to eat, and agreed it was very good too.

Was this the very first POT LUCK?
