Day in the Life with Peach Pie...

Well I have officially created my first peach pie! Truthfully I actually followed a recipe...lol
It was looking pretty sketchy there for a bit. It was looking A wee bit runny at the beginning, but a fast cook on 425 F for 20 minutes helped create a sweet plump, golden peach pie!

I found this recipe after 20 minutes with Ask Jeeves. All in total I think I invested 30 minutes of prep time plus 30 mins of cooking time. Not bad for a pie that I would rate at an 8 out 10. From what I read the Mean Chef seems to have a bunch of other really easy & tasty sounding recipes.

All in all the weekend was pretty uproductive. I think the highlight was getting new squash balls to try out this week. Got my hair cut too, but other than that we did squat all weekend. I was kinda nice to not not have anywhere to go.

So my car is officially good on gas. I filled up this weekend when started to get nervous and filled up at 540.8 kms on my last tank of gas. Close to 300 hundred of it was highway travel back and forth from club Caleba last weekend, but then I drove around the city and back and forth to work for a week on the remainder! Ahh the joys of owning a little red rice rocket.

Any hoo back to the olympics...

Enjoy the pie :-P

Just in case...

... You feel the need to play god... turn up your volume!
thanks Biz.

Important SP2 Info...

Just read an important article on our current edition at work.

IF you have XP you need to read this!!!

Other than that sorry I haven't written much lately. It is summer and I have been really busy with work.

Have also been glued to the TV now that the Olympics are on. It amazes me some of the physical strengths that these incredible individuals have obtained.

Maybe I grew up a sheltered life... ( this I doubt...LOL) but do you ever remember competing at a world class level when you were say 17 or18? Or how about being able to do a 3 and a half somersault with a couple twists off a diving board, while staying in synch with another diver the whole time? Or possibly you remember swimming 400 meters in just a couple of minutes. Maybe it was the lifting a couple times your body weight over your head in a clean and jerk motion?

It is absolutely outstanding to me, the accomplishments that these young athletes are currently establishing in there sports of expertise. Well done to all of them!
