Today’s topic: Buttermilk Pie. Love it. I think the first time I ate it was at the Nut House in Granbury, Texas. I was probably younger than Miss Bee is now. It’s very southern. I was nine when Earnie purchased this cookbook by mail order..

Somewhere along the way I discovered the buttermilk pie recipe and from the looks of the page, it was a frequent occurrence for me to make it. Earnie added the note about adding lemon juice.
So I made one last night. All the talk my Austin besties were doing about spending Thanksgiving together tomorrow made me all nostalgic. So I made one. I plan to eat a big slice tomorrow.
I even tried a new pie crust recipe from my friend David Venable’s new cookbook (we’ve never met, but I consider him my friend. He’s a cutie).
Pie. It’s the most important part of the Thanksgiving meal.
Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.
My first slice of buttermilk pie was at the same place! The Nut House in Grandbury. I love it, and with coffee it is the perfect pie.
And you will be walking right along with us tomorrow. We'll be sure to tell Missy stories for the whole five miles!
