Susie Homemaker: Peach Pie

-
Goal: Martha's Peach Pie 
Level of mess {to clean up}: Medium. Peach juice + brown suga' + mixing by hand 
Eatable: I'm not a huge pie fan, but Kent is. He ate it, but didn't fall out of his chair after the first bite. He didn't rave about it. 
Bottom Line: When following a Martha Stewart recipe I always feel the need to be totally serious, read the recipe 4x more than I normally would and furrow my eyebrows. No nonsense.                    
If you want to fill like the bombdotcom baker, BAKE A PIE (store bought crust, of course). And if you're a total cornball, stand on the front porch holding the pie, while wearing oven mitts when your husband pulls into the driveway. (Guilty) It'll make him laugh. 
My Sous (pronounced "Sue" in case you're not totally into competitive reality cooking shows. Guilty.) My Sous Chef was so excited about making a pie that she lost control of her bowels and had to be whisked away from the kitchen.

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
