I thought Iā€™d contributed the peach streusel pie recipe to the Mumper recipe blog, but apparently not. So here it is in order that you may all envy me. šŸ˜ƒ Peach Streusel Pie 1/2 cup light brown sugar 1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup butter (I use about 6 Tbsp and it works fine) 1 large (1# 13oz) can of sliced peaches, drained (I used 2# of fresh so itā€™d be extra peachy!) 1 Tbsp sugar 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla 2 Tbsp cream (I use half-and-half) Cut the first three ingredients together to form a crumbly mixture Sprinkle half of the mixture into a prepared pie shell Arrange peaches on top of mixture (I just dump them it - I got no time to ā€œarrangeā€) Combine sugar and nutmeg and sprinkle on peaches Beat together egg, vanilla, and cream and pour over peaches Top with remaining crumb mixture. Bake at 400Ā°F for 40 minutes. Cool before serving. This is my favorite of all of my MILā€™s pie recipes. ---

**Swampy** , if one is educated, one can avoid snakes in a tree. To get said education, perhaps one can go to [school](http://abc27.com/2015/07/30/franklin-county-elementary-school-closes-due-to-spiders/). :eek: > [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Note to self: Hide cheap transistor radios near the front door of people on The List.

I hung out with my old friend at her place today. [Hereā€™s a picture](http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j175/muzition/birdy1_zpsjmymqyzk.jpg) of me at her place, with my cute new friend. My hairā€™s a bit of a mess in that picture, but the two of us match because we both have a piece of hair sticking up. šŸ˜› My family and I had barbecue chicken for supper. ---

Three-day weekend dropped to two, since boss needed to switch my Monday off for another personā€™s Tuesday off, so the other person can attend a mandatory class on Tuesday. Iā€™d dearly love to choke said other person, but I adore my boss, so will only balk at such a request from him if I really do have a major schedule conflict. Today was a very crabby day. Seemed like everyone around me was happily tap-dancing on my last nerve. I came close to saying ā€œforget itā€ and going home at lunch for a mental health afternoon, but I did finish my day. Stopped on the way home and acquired chocolate. That should help. Iā€™m also unreasonably tired, so itā€™ll probably be an early night. ---
