Pretty good. Have a therapy appointment today.

Speaking of appointments, my nose surgery date was set up. I plan to not bake that week.

Hope your nose surgery goes well and you'll be back to cooking & baking soon.

Turns out I am going to have nose surgery in July also. 5-10 days off work, 10 days limited to 10 pounds max lifting and no bending over.

@jnicholes Good luck with your surgery, I will know your pain, lol.

Crust is a little soggy on the bottom but the top was nice.

The question of soggy bottom pie crust came up on Milk Street Radio a few months back. The key is to have the pie on the rack at the lowest position in the oven. That way the bottom gets more heat. I asked if that was also true for ovens like mine that have only a top heating element and the answer was "yes".

I use cornstarch not flour to make fruit pies does better for me to not have runny, soupy pies

The pie was still pretty warm when we cut into it but I love a bleeding berry pie! The ice cream melts into it making the most lovely creamy sauce. Lol! I admit I took the berries out of the freezer and they were only partially thawed. So they weren’t drained well at all. Could be part of the problem with the soggy crust. I don’t know but it was delicious all the same. I’ll try another one and drain them better, then use @bruceha2000 ’s tip and bake it lower in the oven. Recipe called for both flour and tapioca.

Thank you I will try this!

Wait, your oven only has a top element??? Is this a thing or did something happen to the bottom one?

Bosch true convection wall oven. It is nice not having a bottom element, I have a huge insulated baking sheet that catches most of the stuff that would normally get burned onto the bottom of the oven.
