Today...

::I made a rug.  This is "Daisy".  She contains part of a tee in the very center and the rest is the sheets and fabric that Dawnie thrifted and then gifted to me.

::I made a peanut butter pie.  My mom cleaned her pantry and she gave me a Nilla Wafer pie crust-that's what I used.   I was too lazy to mess with meringue.

Here's the recipe I used-

Shirley's Cream Pie

2 cups milk-heat in medium saucepan

Add while wisking continuously:
1/4 cup cornstarch
2/3 cup sugar
pinch of salt
3 egg yolks (mix with a little warm milk first to temper-you don't want scrambled eggs)

 Continue to wisk and bring to simmer, then wisk until thickened.

Then add 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 tablespoon of butter, and one huge spoonful of peanut butter.  (Probably a little less than 1/2 cup.) 

Stir it up good!

**********************

If you want to make coconut cream-add a BIG handful of coconut instead of peanut butter, and sprinkle the meringue with coconut too before baking.

Meringue

3 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Beat egg whites and vanilla on high in metal or glass (not plastic) bowl (and add sugar gradually) until the egg whites form stiff peaks.  Bake on pie at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until the meringue is browned.

::I cleaned off the table-what a job!

Rocco seemed really happy about it.

"She CLEANED off the table?"

"She cleaned off the TABLE?"

"SHE CLEANED OFF THE TABLE!"

"Thank you, God-she cleaned off the table."

That's all.
