Here They Are !!

The Pies are in...



The Lemon Meringue



The Fresh Strawberry/Kiwi Pie




Harry Bunny and his favorite pie, a slice of Blueberry..no Ice Cream he eats it so fast he gets an "Ice Cream Headache!!

Hungry??

Friday the 13th, Why Pie??

Yesterday's post was a blatant appeal for a cherry pie....The message got to the right person but this is as close to Cherry Pie as I got last night!!

Today I'm fighting back...I will construct "The Best Pie Ever" Not being that good with the pastry part I've asked for some help on the crust....it will be Home Made...No Prefab Crusts...A picture will follow later today just before it's time to eat "The Pie"..

All requests for Pie Recipes will also be posted or sent to those interested!

Oh Why, Oh Why
Am I thinking about Pie??
On Friday the 13th
the month of July.

It's because today marks my 3rd week without smoking...That's right I quit cold turkey and I am going crazy!! Pie seems to be a much better alternative

While I didn't get any Pie last night there was a wonderful dinner prepared. Everywhere I turned there was food and not a whiff of tobacco in the air. Oh and plenty of chocolate and fresh cherries!

Do YOU Like Pie ??

I had a a homemade Coconut Cream Pie that my sister made....she's well aware that it is my Favorite...She is now currently my "favorite sister". Of course, of the three, she is in the closest proximity to me so... Anyway, I love desert and Pie is truly up there with my favorites..People that say they don't like desert.......they are lying and that's all there is to it, everyone needs a little sweetening every once in a while.

My sister's Pie was so good I didn't have a chance to take a picture of it..It was there and then POOF it was gone.

Mom's Apple Pie

I had a camera with me when these other 2 pies came around...My favorite MOM made this Apple Pie and it was lovely, served warm with ice cream...I wonder this is an archival photo...When oh When will she make another one??

My Strawberry Pie

Yes I make a wonderful Strawberry Pie!! I "borrowed" the recipe from MOM, but I did such a good job with it that she's has said I am in charge of making them now.....That's not right Pies taste so much better when they are made for you....This Strawberry Delight is best served with Fresh Whipped Cream.

My "Favorite Youngest Sister" says she makes a lovely Cherry Pie, unfortunately we have no Photographic Evidence to support that statement. While there are some lingering memories of the purported pie, It would be nice to see her make an effort to make this pie soon...I mean the Coconut Cream Pie is gone!! We need another pie!!

All of these Pies are good for your Abs!!

I'm Back

It's me in complete control of the Beaver..the name of the canoe!!

Do you see those biceps on me...do you see em???

The life jacket is covering up my incredible abs, maybe I can find another picture.

My Abs.....

I am back from my long weekend in New Hampshire. It was a getaway from the everyday and I came back with pictures and a new stand-in for my profile image.

It was nice to escape the normal and it was great to come back to it. The kind of vacation I really want is going to depend on me becoming fabulously wealthy and it may be awhile before that happens.

Regardless, I had fun jumping in the lake, eating grilled food, drinking Beer and Hard Lemonade. Playing cards and dining out.....Now I'll have to be happy doing those things around here.

Here are a few more pictures from the weekend...

Lake Winnepesaukie, almost sundown clouds clearing.

Our Friends Camp and my sister standing in front of her magic carpet.

If you ever saw the movie..."What About Bob with Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfus, this was the Lake that they went to in the movie...

Also the camp next to us was a family named Griswold..I didn't see Chevy Chase though.

Well I gotta go do my Ab workout..it's not easy being me.

I'm Hiding

I'm not here right now, please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Things to discuss amongst yourselves while I'm away.

How effective is Beano ??

What's the best way to get rid of Hiccups?

What affects ,if any, are there for those with the Astrological Sign of Scorpio since their ruling planet Pluto was downgraded from a Full Fledged Planet to a Dwarf Planet last year?

What's your favorite new TV Show and why should I watch it??

Don't want to answer a question? Ask me one....I'll answer it as soon as I return.

4th of July

I am putting a poll together here today on this day that Americans celebrate their Independence from the Eeeevil Brits....of course if we had continued to be a part of the British Empire, maybe we would have a National Health Care system in place...

My son tells me I should see the movie "Sicko" the most recent documentary from Michael Moore comparing the highly profitable American Health care system with other countries...I'm putting it on the list of must see films..

So back to the Independence Day Celebration...what are we celebrating? Possibly that the Bush Presidency is coming to an end, Scooter Libby's Presidential Pardon, The Victory in Iraq? Did I say the Victory in Iraq?? The renewed interest in joining up with Al-Qaeda, The latest graduates from the Suicide Bomber School....

Personally I think this country has to stop trying to spread our freedom and democracy around the world...you know respect other people's freedom for how they want to live their lives...I don't know but didn't we see the Brits as the enemy not so long ago?

The USA is a great country and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else, unless an extremely beautiful woman invited me to share her life and her great families wealth with little old me. That's where I draw the line!!

The poll today asks the question, How Free Do You Feel ? And I ask you to both give a response and follow up with a comment re where you live, ie...country, state...planet? Extremely beautiful women can email me!!

Stuffed Animals Make The Best Pets

What? you say....Stuffed animals make good pets?? Yes they do?? Ask yourself the next time you get home from an overnight stay at a friends and you walk into your place and it is permeated with that distinct "Litter Box" scent?? Ahhh and if you have a friend with you that has never visited your house before the smell greets them with even more surprise. How about a spontaneous getaway to a "Drinking Spa"...No, spontaneity isn't a luxury when you have to find a kennel for your pet poodle Puffy.

Instead of "Live Pets" I suggest Plush Stuffed Animals. I would recommend a nice Gund. Now the ones people win at Fairs and Carnivals are always too stiff and really aren't much fun...they have an odd smell too. But a nice soft squishy bear or or a Snoopy dog...maybe something like

Steve!! The Hideaway Chicken.

Whatever animal you pick, remember It's always thinking exactly what you are thinking...

Tell it to stay, it stays.

It's 20 degrees below zero or it's raining, snowing or sleeting outside and it won't need to go for a walk.

It never shits in your shoe!! Never pees on your couch!!!

If by some chance it gets dirty...two words--Washing Machine.

2 week vacation...no kennel fees

If you love and adore live animals, spoil your friend's dog and bring over a gourmet dog bone. Visit a petting zoo. Go to an aquarium or enjoy a pony ride.

Then, go home and give your plush animal a hug, tell it what you did..he/she will listen to everything you have to say, quietly...and you won;'t have to take em' for a walk first.

Washing my Toaster Be Back Soon

Not a lot of time today to write much..My stat counter has exceeded 10,000 visits since I installed it..kinda cool..wish I could say I have 10,000 comments...but I understand...not everything I write is worth commenting on...working on it!! Thanks to all that have stopped by; however briefly.



I found this somewhere on the net, I believe it was an old cover from Popular Science. Possibly before we discovered electricity!! This dream never came true... It would be nice to come home and hose down the Plasma Tv, the home PC and that damn CD player that's always skipping. Clean the crumbs out of the Toaster Oven. Wash the laundry right there on the floor...

Maybe someday!
