PIE IN FACE?????


Don't work your recovery like I baked a pie last night. UGH.

I have not baked a pie since childhood. Husband brought home 2 free bushels of Golden Delicious apples form WA the other day. (Don't ask... we are in Ohio)

I thought, "I will pawn off some, and bake some pies too."

I thought I "KNEW WHAT I NEEDED" at the grocery store. WRONG. I got home and peeled and cored and started to unfold the ready-made pie crusts. I had NO FLOUR for the fillingcry. Back out in the snow to the store.

Then I got it all assembled. Put the top on and pinched around the edges, cut slits in the top. OOPS. I forgot to add butter to the fillingfurious. So I tried to cut thin slices off a stick of butter and wedge them through the slits. dohUGH.

Follow directions? What directions? I can do this on my own!!!  Yah, right.

We shall see how she tastes today. But lesson learned.

If there are instructions, read them before you start. I can't work the program like I bake a pie.

this reminds me of what a member shared in a meeting...

"Without a program, life is like a soup sandwich. No matter how you make it, you always wind up with a mess. "
