So instead I'm working on vague memories combined with last-minute improvisations based on what is available in the refrigerator, and most of the quantities are just made up off the top of my head.

In other words, it's just like Mom used to make it.

Clarification: I should stress that for purposes of Sammie getting pie, this does not count as pie.
