What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow. ~ Martin Luther

For Pie lovers and skilled Bakers...the clumsy needn't read on. :-)

Here is the recipe for the blasted Creamy Peach Pie that so thoroughly spoiled my Resurrection Eve-it is VERY easy to convert into a "Floor Pie" just make sure the floor isn't completely clean (for added flavor!)

Pie Crust-just need one.
My favorite pie crust recipe uses only four ingredients.
*1 c. flour
*1/2 t. salt
*1/3 c. shortening (I use butter flavored)
*2 to 3 T. ice water

Combine flour and salt. Cut shortening into dry ingredients until mixture resembles cornmeal then add ice water one tablespoon at a time. Stir with fork after each addition. Form into ball-and you know the rest.

Pie "Innerds"
*Fresh peaches-peeled, pitted and sliced. (Recipe calls for four cups but I use a bit more to fill the crust to the top.
3/4 c. white sugar
*1/4 c. all purpose flour
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. nutmeg
Heavy Whipping Cream....recipe calls for 1 cup but I "eyueball" it and only pour it on top of the pie until I think there is enough. I think I probably use only 1/2 cup.

Peel and slice peaches. Combine sugar, flour, salt, and nutmeg. Add to the peaches and toss lightly. Turn out into pie shell. Pour whipping cream evenly over top. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven and back 35-45 minutes or until firm and golden brown on top.
If you use ALL the whipping cream-it is necessary to chill for several hours before serving. If you don't, you can chow down while it is still warm-the BEST way to eat pie in my book!
