This is my go-to recipe for cherry pie, based off of the one in Joy of Cooking. I either use an all butter crust also adapted from Joy of Cooking (see bottom of the post), or I cheat and get one of the refrigerated versions, which aren't quite as ...

I got to make the baked pork flower dumplings that I intended to make last week with my spiffy new oven. I reduced the scallion to just one and upped the garlic to 4 cloves, but otherwise followed the original recipe pretty closely. I did measure the liquid ...
