Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls
Really delicious. I doubled the salad ingredients (mint, basil, cilantro) and really piled it on. I'd also recommend making more of the sauces. I tripled the recipes so I'd have enough to put each person's serving in an individual ramekin so they could 'double dip'...because they are so good!

Ruth's Grandma's Pie Crust
I've been experimenting with pie crust recipes for years...this is great! As other reviewers note, it makes a LOT of dough. As my own grandma did, I just roll up the extra dough with left over fruit or some jelly for a quick jelly roll. I also let the kids help with this part and they love it.

Cherry Pie IV
****DO NOT make this crust******* The filling is superb, and deserves 5 stars. But the crust is just awful, and deserves not only a '1' star, but negative -5 stars, if that were possible. It is impossible to work with and makes what is usually (for me at least) a joy to bake pies a very, very frustrating experience. Because I had no more crisco or even butter, and not enough time before my 4th of July bbq to make another crust, I ended up actually mashing the darn dough that crumbled to the touch directly INTO the pie pan, and doing a crumble on top. It in turn completely crumbled when served. The cherry filling was delicious. But it wasn't 'Pie', as it had no form whatsoever. I think the submitter made a mistake in writing the recipe or something, because there is no way the pie in that picture could have been made with a workable crust. So frustrating.
