I heard you asking.
"Matthew," you asked, "What did you do last night?"
Well, let me show you.
You see, I had all these peaches...
My sous chef, Marc, peeled and sliced the whole mess.
... then I added a bit of flour, ginger, cinnamon, splenda, and lemon juice. Marc made a request to add a handful of raisins. I considered this request, and thought of no reason why peaches and raisins could not be friends, and thusly, a handful was generously added.
There it goes, into a pie pan. But what's that stuff on top there, you ask?
Why that's a bit of shredded mozzerella cheese, my friend. Strange though it may sound, bear with me. Trust in your piemaker.
I fashioned the top...
... assembled it, and crimped the edge.
Your piemaker at work.
There, now doesn't that look pretty?
Cathryn thinks so. And in the oven it goes.
After fifteen minutes, it gets a little foil hat. Then more baking until...
... It's finished!
After cooling, a tasting was had. All in attendance confirmed that the Peach Pie of 2009 was a great success! The ginger blends nicely with the peach, and the mozzerella adds a mild, mellow note to the sweetness.
In case you're wondering, No. I didn't fall off the weight loss wagon. I'm at 200 lbs, almost precisely. I've lost 50 lbs.
I *heart* the act of baking pies.
I'm not going to give up something I absolutely love, just because I desire to be thinner.
Yes, I had a small, small piece. I'll have one tomorrow, too. All in careful moderation. I guarantee you, I'm not going to find that 50 lbs. I lost in that pie.
This is me. At work, just last week. Several people told me I looked good that day, so I thought I'd snap a shot.
Yanno what?
They were right.

No. I usually find things down the back of the sofa.
I absolutely love every aspect of making a pie. Experimenting with different ways of doing so to see how they will turn out, I feel like I'm making the process my own, rather than just following a recipe. It's the artist in me, I guess. :)
Maybe I'll get to make one for you some day. :D
