Yep, that's right. I tried to bake a cherry pie tonight and it turned out to be an utter failure.
First of all, I used fresh Bing cherries, not sour cherries like one should - of course, I can blame it on ignorance because I honestly didn't know until my dad pointed it out.
Secondly, I bit into temptation by eating a piece of the uncooked pie crust's edge before putting it in the oven. This was not a good idea, as the filling began to leak out halfway through the 50 minutes it was supposed to stay in there.
I thought I could remedy the situation by putting the half-cooked pie on a baking sheet, but then I was even more dumb and put it on the uppermost rack instead of the bottom rack.
Let's just say smoke was involved and I am surprised the fire alarm didn't go off.
The rest is history, though the watery continues to sit in my dark, abandoned kitchen.
I would post a picture (in reference to a previous cooking debacle) but I am just too embarrassed.
