Strawberry Pie

   The three things I remember most about going to the big town of Evansville when I was a little girl is the circus, ordering a bologna sandwich at Mac's BBQ and the strawberry pie at the Farmer's Daughter Restaurant. So when my friend from Mt. Carmel, Barb, passed me this recipe for Strawberry Pie, the Farmer's Daughter came to mind. It's the real homemade deal and just delicious.
