kindkitI made a peach-raspberry pie tonight. For some reason, the pie-making urge overcame me at about 8 pm.
So, round about 10:30 the pie was reasonably cool and ready to be tasted.
It was SALTY.
Now, the recipe did call for a little salt in the filling. It seems I mismeasured this by several orders of magnitude. Even sprinkling a bunch more sugar on top could not produce a condition of edibility.
*weeps*

You can sympathize with Jo March.
