Pregnancy brain strikes again...

... at least that's the excuse I'll use for the next two months, anyway :)...

Here's how it went down:

I got a bunch of SUPER yummy peaches, and after canning, freezing, and eating, decided to make the ULTIMATE FRESH peach pie...

So I got the recipe from my gourmet-esc neighbor, and decided to put it together for our Sunday Dinner.

Here's how it turned out... seriously mouth watering, right??

I mean, really, you can't wait to sink your teeth into that piece of peachy heaven, RIGHT??!  

But Please, WAIT... the story continues...

... so the recipe gave directions on the pie crust, and then at the end stated that to save time you could just buy a ready made frozen pie crust.  Great - that just cut down a bunch of time for me... especially since I have yet to master the art of the 'perfect' pie crust...

... I mean, c'mon, a store bought pie crust is FULL PROOF, Right??!

So, on Sunday, I mixed up the peach pie filling, got the pie crust out of the freezer, smeared it with cream cheese (one of the 'secrets' in the recipe...), poured in the filling, and put it in the fridge to set up... 

The time FINALLY came to break out the pie... and Jerry did the honors of cutting the first piece.

... he looked closely at the piece and here is the conversation...

Jerry: "Umm, honey... did you bake the crust??"

Me:  "No, I just bought it"

Jerry:  "...yea... but did you BAKE it??"

Me:  (thinking, didn't I just answer that question??)  "No, honey, I bought a ready-made crust"

Jerry:  "You mean..." (I'm sure trying hard to let me know of my brainless-ness without actually pulling a 'say brainless, doncha know where coconuts come from??!' line)   "... the kind that's frozen DOUGH... that needs to be baked??"

Me:  "No...  it's the ready made.... ohhhhh, yea... "  the light FINALLY comes on as I realize that I have only made hot pies in the ready made crusts, so the 'baking' part was pretty obvious...

He did manage to swallow at least the 'filling' part...

... and I learned that the reason why the frozen pie crusts come in two... for people like me... who need that 2nd chance :)

... so the [second] crust was baked... the filling [re]filled... and the [un-doughy] pie partaken of... 

... and there was much [belated] rejoicing in the Brewer Household :)
