Cheerio…My Good Chap!

What shall we talk about? The weather? It was 106° here today. And that's all I got to say about that. I'm putting on a couple of vids and I would like for you to listen to them both. If you're not familiar with him, John Prine is one of America's best songwriters. Here's a couple of lesser-known dazzlers....... (the first one's a little risqué).....

What a master he is. Now, this isn't a cooking blog, but how would you like to make a delicious dessert that takes only 10 min. to fix, and cost about four dollars? My mom used to make this recipe for me, so a few years back I searched for "cherry-o pie". That's what she called it, and to my surprise, I found the recipe. The last few months, I've been doing all my shopping at Walmart. I have Walmarts listed on my GPS, as points of interest. I decided if I was going to use their facilities for overnight parking, I might as well get used to shopping in their store. You will notice that I used Walmart brand products in the manufacture of this delicious dessert. Previously, I had used name brands like Eagle Brand and Philadelphia Cream Cheese. It was just an experiment to see if the Great Value brand made the same quality pie, as I was familiar with.

this simple recipe has five ingredients

combine the cream cheese with the sweetened

 condensed milk

squirt in an extra large dose of lemon juice

use the mixer and beat on high for

a couple of minutes

pour mixture into the pie shell

top with cherry pie filling

flip the plastic insert around and cover the pie

store in the refrigerator until the next day

I'll let you know how it turned out

good neighbors are priceless

I had honestly wanted to do some touch-up painting and some carpentry work today, but it was just too hot. I went next door and sat with my neighbor, LaWayne. We sat under his patio and solved the world's problems. We still have a little work to do on that issue. 


LaWayne is retired, but he stays very active. He's a camping enthusiast, with nice fifth wheel trailer and a F350 Ford. He's been a good neighbor for many years, and I will miss him. Of course, he says our trails will cross again....'out there'. I would bet money on it!




I hope you do have some use for the pie recipe, it is delish! It really has been nice, writing my blog, inside, in the air-conditioning! Nope, not hot in here. I love this country.
