Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Today ’s really sunny and warm it feels like Summer’s here! Whoo hoo! I love summer. It’s the time when I can finally hang my clothes out to dry using carbon-free solar power. It makes me feel like everyday is a bloody miracle.

Step 1 : Blend everything in the pie crust ingredient list.

Step 2: Mold into desired shape. (you can do this free hand like I did to shape this pie or use a pie/ quiche mold).

Step 3: Blend all the ingredients in the pie filling ingredient list.

Step 4: Pour the blended mixture from step 3 into the molded pie crust.

Step 5: Garnish with mint leaves.

Everyday is a freaking miracle. Everyone is a walking miracle. As Dr. Manhattan in Alan Moore’s Watchmen said:

“But the world is so FULL of people, so crowded with these miracles that they become common place and forget… I forget…

“We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions. Yet seen from another’s vantage point, as if new, it may still take the breath away.”

Here Laney, as you requested a raw step- by-step vid on making a pie crust:

Met my friend J, today at class, was really happy we’re taking the same course. We were talking about how we were skeptical about making a living as artists. She said she was “optimystic”, meaning she is optimistic as well as practical- which is an oxymoron. I really like that term. I’ll try to be more “optimystic” instead of neg, like how a dark cloud looms overhead, following me wherever I go.
