The ones that got away
The wonderful thing about vacations is everyone is different. We haven’t had a family vacation since the summer before the pandemic, and we’ve looked forward to it for months.
We no longer go to the inlet end of Cherry Grove as we’ve done for years because of the anti-canopy rule. We tried the umbrella way once, but gave it up after a woman lying on the beach was killed when a wind-tossed

Nuts put crunch into pie crusts
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
If you would like to turn a good pie into a great pie, rethink the crust.
Using these nut-based pie crusts will really jazz up an old favorite. The pecan and almond crusts are delicious with a chocolate or banana cream filling. And pairing them with coconut cream is also a winner.
Lemon meringue pairs well with the pistachio crust, and pumpkin or apple go the extra mile with the walnut curst.
Actually, it’s hard to come up with anything that wouldn’t taste good with nuts… So go ahead and knock their socks off.
Come up with your own pairings. Don’t be afraid to experiment a little with these.
