Let them eat...pie?

Summer's coming and that means all sorts of fruits are going to be in season and cheap! Yay! So that, in turn, means, it's time to make pie! I'm hoping to expand my "pie repertoire" this summer. Stay tuned for pics and reports on how these pies are going!

I also want to experiment with pie crusts. Sometimes I get lazy and just use the frozen ones...especially when they're on sale (which has been pretty often lately!). I only have two pie crust recipes -- the usual pie crust and the flaky crust, but I'd like to learn to make different variations of them. I also want to experiment with pie crust designs. As much as I love the traditional lattice and also the simple pie crust, I'd like to try out other designs.

Now if I could just find some people to feed all these experiments to...

P.S. Here's something my nephew sent to me when we were going back and forth about baked goods. He's a huge cheesecake fan, and as I've learned, a pie fan too.
