Pie

"Sometimes all your emotions are best released by simply making a pie" 

I have been baking a lot in the past two months. I have always found it 

easier to cook because I felt like I could be more creative and if I made 

a mistake, it was easier to fix or at least "cover up"...not so with baking. 

Baking is more of a science where I have to follow each step and if I try to

 take a "short cut" the result will be...well, a flop (literally and figuratively). 

But now...now I love baking. I love each step and as David Mamet said, 

"We must have pie. Stress cannot exist in the presence of a pie." 

"We ought to make the pie higher" ~George W. Bush

"I'll always be with you"

Tonight I was thinking about my family...

thinking about my friends...

and thinking about a family who 

is going through a loss I cannot imagine. 

"If you live to be a hundred, I want to be hundred

minus one day, so I never have to live

without you." 

-A.A. Milne, Winne-the-Pooh

"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. 

there is something you must always remember. 

You are braver than you believe, stronger than you

 seem, and smarter than you think, but the most 

important thing is, even if we're apart.. 

I'll always be with you." 

-A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh

" 'We'll be friends forever, won't we Pooh?' asked Piglet, 

'Even longer,' Pooh answered."

-A.A. Milne, Winne-the-Pooh
