Penelope's Recipe Box

Sam Feininger from Pittsburg writes…Dear Penelope, What’s with all the complicated recipes? Baking a pie does not have to take as long as my last marriage. Granted, it was way longer than Brittany’s first, but making some of your recipes could also run 55 hours. And I say this with affection because I kind of get a kick out of you and some of the jams you get yourself into, mainly because you make things so complicated. Again, I go back to some of your recipes. So in the words of one of my best army buddies, “Keep it simple, Sweetheart.” Happy Valentine’s Day, Sam, the Fan
