Happy Pi Day


∏ I hope every one enjoys Pi Day, today. Now I prefer to eat pie, than discuss the relevance of Pi. My favorite is pecan pie....I have used a wonderful recipe from Family Circle (9/1/98) called Carol Thomas's Pecan Pie....wow it is hard to believe I have been making that pie every year for the past 12 years, time sure flies. I usually make it at Christmas time, but maybe I need to make it on March 14th. I always made 2, one for work or whatever function I was attending, and then one for my boys....Of course none of my pies compare to Miss Faye's

Here is Carol Thomas's recipe:
1 ready to use--roll out pie crust (this is why my pie cannot compare to Miss Faye's)

1/2cup butterscotch chips

1 cup pecan pieces

1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup white corn syrup

2 eggs

1. Heat oven to 350 (degrees)

2. Unfold pie crust into 9 inch pie pan. Scatter butterscotch chips and pecan pieces in pie shell.

3. Beat together butter, sugar, corn syrup and eggs in medium size bowl. Pour over nuts and butterscotch chips.

4. Bake at 350(degrees) for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown.

Now enjoy your day and enjoy your pie....so, what is your favorite pie???

Oh, yes, pecan pie is a favorite of mine! I've never tried making it though, the recipe I have seems so complicated. I think I could handle this one. Thanks for sharing!
And enjoy!
All the best,

Personality Plus

I found a new blog site ... /www.reneeswope.blogspot.com/ .....she talks about, Florence Littauer's book Personality Plus...in this book four personalities are mentioned 1. Phlegmatic 2. Choleric 3. Sanguine 4. Melancholy I have not only read this book and taken the personality test years ago, but I had the privilege in going to a church Woman's conference and Florence was the guest speaker in 1996. She is an excellent speaker, and the book is quite interesting. I have taken several personality test, through the years either in school or through work. I have read "Please Understand Me II" by David Keirsey about temperament, character and intelligence and "Now, Discover Your Strengths" by Marcus Buckingham and Donald Clifton, PhD. These books are interesting, informative, thought provoking and motivating. They not only tell you about your personality, but about those around you. They teach you about other's personalities.

LOOK UP!

  When I graduated in 2011 with master’s degree the theme of the ceremony was “Look up!” Everyone has their eyes focused on their laptops, iPad, cell phones, TV etc. “Look up!” is the newest version to “Stop and smell the roses”.   There is a whole world out there, the world is passing you by, everything that happens in this world affects you. We stay at a condo on the beach every winter when visiting my family in Florida for Christmas. The seagulls fly by our 8 th story balcony every year and every day. Alas, every year I say “Hey, look at the birds”.   Unfortunately, no one listens, and they miss out. However, this year they accidently saw the birds, it was a fluke. They were so excited and talked for several minutes about this event. They acted like this was the first time it happened. Well…LOOK UP! The last 2 Christmases I saw dolphins in the water when looking out our condo window. Did anyone else see them? No, the computers, TV and cell phones were much more ...
