You must pre-bake the bottom crust of a custard pie, but this is a tricky step in the pie-making process.

Never say 'no' to pie. No matter what, wherever you are, diet-wise or whatever, you know what? You can always have a small piece of pie, and I like pie. I don't know anybody who doesn't like pie. If somebody doesn't like pie, I don't trust them. I'll bet you Vladimir Putin doesn't like pie.

Sabrina Jeffries

Promises and pie-crust are made to be broken.

Pixie Lott

I love pie. Definitely apple pie, but sweet potato pie - really any pie.

Tyler Herro

I'm a thin-crust pizza guy. I respect people who like thick crust, but in my view it's mostly bread.

Mike Leach

Once in seven years I burn all my sermons; for it is a shame, if I cannot write better sermons now than I did seven years ago.

John Wesley

I think my biggest heartbreak was when I just couldn't get an American cheese cake/pie with a saltine cracker crust and green tomato sorbet to work out in my favor.

Christina Tosi

I cut up loads. I always want everything shorter, shorter, shorter.

Kate Moss

When I was your age, I used to treat the crust like it was just there to hold the good stuff in. I used to leave the whole back end of it on the plate. As I got older, I learned to appreciate the crust.
