Earl Eats "Turkey's" Homemade Cherry Pie

I love pie! As a young man, I would always request a Cheesecake (which, let's face it, is a pie) for my birthday. Coconut cream pie was my favorite, along with pumpkin and then there's pecan-FORGET ABOUT IT! My wife "Turkey", not so much. She does like cheese cake, like I do, but loves lemon meringue and key lime...not my favorites but tasty...anyway

Yesterday out of the blue, my wife decided to make a pie! Fortunately, I had pie filling for a dessert I was going to make and she loves baking so the stars came together! Cherry was what she decided on. Another of my favorites and my brother-in-law's all-time favorite. He won't be getting any. "Turkey" attacks baking with laser focus. She found a recipe for and went to work. She likes recipes, unlike me, as I have mentioned before. I occasionally tried to throw out a couple of suggestions, which she correctly ignored. and were the result AWESOME! It was more simple than I imagined, (partly because I couldn't imagine doing it). Baking is science and when she is in her lab, I see the passion and experience she brings to it. Thanks "Turkey" for not being like me and eating my experiments, even when you don't let me use your lab equipment!
