HeyHappy Birthday ! I admire you somuch ! You are a hard worker have boundless energy and are amazingly creative and delightfully entertaining I haven’t baked much these last two years but am ready maybe soon to start up again with a pie. So inspiring reading your instructions and following along with the pictures. My question is where would I find leaf lard ? I am in California in the Bay Area. Would you have any suggestions where I might find a supplier or some store that would carry this product? Thank you for your delightful newsletter ! Jennie Garcia
Thank you so much, Jennie! Your kind comments mean so much to me.
In the Bay Area I would check out Prather Ranch. (Do a web search.) They used to be in the Ferry Plaza Market and had leaf lard then. They may still carry it at some of their other farmers markets in the area. Give them a call.
Thank you for all the great information. You are inspiring. The newletter has been lots of fun and good stories. Sorry we can not be there to help celibrate your birthday. Wishing you the very best with many, many more.
Ha! My birthday was yesterday. Happy birthday, fellow Aries🥂. May you have a joyous and - dare I say - fruitful year ahead 🥧 Thank you for your generosity.
Onto the dough. What are your thoughts on leaf lard? I use it with great success in a butter/lard recipe but rarely see it called as an option.
Hello Kate! Thank you so much for the wonderful newsletter! My Art of the Pie book has been in storage for a year and I've so missed your instructions on how to make pie crust! Now I have them again ~ many thanks! And hope your birthday is fantastic and that you have many more🥧
You are a gift to everyone. Thank you. I hope you will reconsider archiving your website...it's a useful format. Blessings for another wonderful year around the sun. 🥧🥧🥧
I love how joyful your descriptions are. I just felt like making pie reading you. Happy birthday, sweetie, and thank you for sharing this detailed recipe with us!
Happy Birthday, Kate! And your trip "remember to think good thoughts" is as salient for life as it is for pie dough! Sending you love.
Thanks Jan!

Thank you Rick and Annemarie. Hopefully we'll see more of each other soon as I think the restrictions between BC and US are easing up. Yes?

Love your newsletter!
First of all, happy birthday to you! May your year be wonderful, too.
I love leaf lard and have baked with it for decades. I use a 50/50 butter/lard combination in dough with great success.
Happy Birthday! 🎉
Thank you so much dearest Jolene!
