Pie...Lemon Blender Pie...ala' Miss Jenny

 I think we all have one, or a few, troublemaker friends.  It's not a question, it's just a fact.  I have several.  One though, lately, Miss Jenny has been causing immense amounts of trouble...but only in the good sense.  With pie...yes, pie.  She proudly displays her bits of perfection and as I read her post, I drool...yes...drool.  Just saying the word lemon is reactionary enough but, while trying to convince myself it's just another pie, I begin wondering at the ease of making it...simplicity indeed.  SO... I know what I have to do to make this drooling stop.  I head to the kitchen and prepare for battle! lolol...omg...



I let the blender run until the batter was light and fluffy.






We couldn't wait!  I cut a piece while it was still warm...and look at it!  Held together beautifully.  But it's wonderful cold.


Oh Lordy...All this deliciousness from a blender...I'm hooked!  I used a store-bought crust in case the recipe didn't work as I hoped it would.  Nor did I have extra lemons to use as a garnish on the top of said pie.  But!  Let me assure you!  It worked out just fine...The next time I make this pie, and I will, I'll make a homemade crust and have plenty of lemons on hand!
Here's the recipe for those doubting my words!


Now, what to do on this Saturday...I've made another old-time cake but I'll save it for my next post.  
Hope you all are enjoying a sweet and peaceful weekend!  I'll be popping in to check on you! Hugs...Donna

Finding some Mojo...

 I'm really trying to find my mojo...I keep telling myself to just get Up!  Move...I find this time, to be harder than ever.  I asked Larry to take me over to Heritage Homestead for a coffee...they make a really good cappuccino so that's what I ordered.  We sat down by a window and just enjoyed the country scenery.  While we were out, I received a call from our next door  neighbor asking if I could come over and sit with his wife while he ran to town to get the car worked on.  No problem...I do this on occasion when he needs a break.  Gweny has Alzheimer's...and she seems to be getting worse every time I sit with her.  We've been friends for 48 years...this is so hard, watching her leave us, quietly...fading away. 

Well, I'll get on with the day instead of making you sad...Have a sweet day.  Coming to check on you.






             Gas was $3.49 at this one 7 Eleven!  Larry filled up.

Sometimes, Life just isn’t fair…

It's been a sad week for me...the friend I was worried about?  He passed away on the 20th of March...they say, in his sleep...he was 71.  He was a physician…and helped so many people with Alzheimer’s.  We’ve known each other since first grade…Sister Digna’s class.  
 I will miss him for the rest of my life...May God keep His arms around you, always...
