“Two: Piper Milly’s winning science project was absurd. Shooting marbles at an unbaked cake? That’s just sad. Three, and most importantly: Piper Milly is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a person who excels.”

The Wall Street Journal has been perhaps the most assiduous purveyor of this half-baked — actually unbaked — claptrap, in a way that puts a lie to the oft-cited defense that its news pages are distinct from its right-wing opinion pages; the lab-leak theory has been promoted by its news and opinion writers alike.

Wrap unbaked pies in foil and refrigerate for up to 1 day, then bake, uncovered, according to the recipe instructions, adding about 10 minutes to the cooking time.

Wrap chilled baked or unbaked pies in foil, then place in zip-top bags and freeze for up to 3 months.

Turn the oven on and heat to 375 degrees for the unbaked pies, or 350 for the baked.
