Pie Recipes on the Web

I found an interesting prize winning apple pie recipe on the National Public Radio site. The crust has cider vinegar in it. The recipe is from "Baking in America: Traditional and Contemporary Favorites from the Past 200 Years" by Greg Patent.

Also I found a cranberry pie recipe I like from the web site of a mystery novelist--Francine Matthews, aka Stephanie Barron who writes the Jane Austen detective series. The recipe is NANTUCKET CRANBERRY PIE

There is an interview with Daniel Liebeskind about his work on the Victoria and Albert Museum extension. He talks about the relationship between music and architecture. He says he doesn't know why he switched from music to architecture. It was an irrational decision. HIs design for the World Trade Center is the only one I like. He is best known for the Jewish Museum in Berlin which has an unusual shape -- a zigzag. He was born in Poland in 1946 and became a US citizen.
