just peachy

I got up extra early this morning to bake Alan's favorite birthday pie before leaving for work.

The East Texas peaches have been great lately. I threw in a few cherries too. I spent a small fortune in cherries last summer. This summer, I'm eating a lot more bananas. 49 cents a pound spends a little easier than $5.99 a pound!

Pour the cream mixture over the peaches, dot with butter and in the oven it goes.

Houston, we have a problem. Cream topping is spilling out the side. I build up a sort of retaining wall with crust scraps.

Time to leave for work, I tag team with Sadie. I know I can count on her to finish the job.

Minimal spillage. Awesome.
