cooking for lazy asses

Hello boys and girls,

Today we are going to learn how to bake a berry pie. Pie, you say? Isn't that, like, difficult and stuff? No, boys and girls. Not if you do it the lazy-ass way like me! Now you will also be able to impress your husband/ wife/ boyfriend/ girlfriend/ person-you're-sort-of-going-out-with-but-not-really-it's-complicated-I-don't-want-to-talk-about-it.

Here's what to do:





Buy a ready-made 9" frozen pie crust and enough berries to fill it up.





Gently toss the berries with sugar, flour, lemon juice and cinnamon. Put them in the pie crust. At this point, pre-heat oven to 180 degrees C.





More fun with baking ingredients! Mix flour, digestive biscuits, butter, baking powder and raw sugar until it forms a lumpy, sticky sort of mess. Then spread onto fruit evenly, and put in the oven until it smells good and just before it burns.

Actually this makes sort of a crumbly top. If you want more of a pie top, see below:





Substitute digestive biscuits with flour. Hide ugliness with a tacky decorative pin thingy.





Most important step: Let cool a bit and serve warm with ice cream to a bunch of hungry boys who will eat anything.





Like so.



See how easy it is to bake a pie? And you know what's even easier? That's right, boys and girls, writing a food blog!

I have very little respect for food blogs. The only food blog I have ever liked is actually more of a cooking blog: Mad Baker. It's awesome. The food looks more like art. I would never be able to eat any of it because it would be such a waste.
