Dear Phaedrus
On this occasion of my Grandmothers 130th birth anniversary I got thinking 
about how she used the leftover dough to make mosey pies. Imagine my 
delight to pull up your thread about this with Barbara. I agree with Dave Fooks- 
and Barbara said “bingo”. When I was little I “baked” next to my grandmother 
on baking day Friday. She made lots of fruit pies, one was called guidda 
(quinces I think ) apples of course, once I remember schnitz (dried apples) 
butterscotch cream pie. Then the leftover pie dough was put in small baking 
tins for mosey pies. I never heard an “h” pronounced in it. I also never remember 
molasses in it- but she never made shoo fly pie that I remember. I remember the 
milk, cinnamon, sugar,  butter, usually not an egg but I’m don’t want to say never. 
Eggs were saved for fruit custard pies like peach or rhubarb custard pies. 
She grew up near the border of Berks and Lebanon Counties. Oh she also made 
corn pie, yum. One time there was a family reunion and she made corn pie, which 
was considered a main dish, for 40. Thanksgiving usually had a pie per person- 
there were  always mince and pumpkin pies for that holiday, besides the apple pies. 
One time it was 22 pies. She didn’t make funny cake, but I do and I love it. It’s a pie 
but you probably know that. I don’t know how long ago your blog was with Barbara 
but please pass along my email to her.
Thank you for this great service.

Hi Penelope,

Thanks for sharing your memories!  Due to a computer hard drive failure several years ago, I no longer have Barbara's email address, but I will post this. Perhaps she'll visit again and see it.
