Thursday Threesome

::Not so much easy as addicted...::

Onesome: Not so much-- --to do now that school is out for the students? ...or maybe a little too much to do for those student's parental units? What are you up to this July? Back for Summer Sessions? ...off to the beach? ...headed out on a weekend adventure? Surely you must be doing something!

Um, yeah, there's this little thing called "work." Ah, for those halcyon days before the age of 16 when there was nothing to do in the summer but a few chores and then television and books, or walking to the neighborhood store for a popsicle, or hanging out with friends.

Twosome: easy as-- Pie? Sure, how about your favorite pie? ...and hey, homemade versus store bought! Would you rather have Mom's Apple Pie or head on over to Marie C's for a slice of heaven there?

Chocolate cream. :-) Apple if purchased, but to me most apple pies are too sugary. Pray tell me why one adds sugar to fruit pies? The fruit is already sweet and the baking releases more of the sugars? So why then does apple pie need to taste like you're licking out the sugar bowl? Sam's Club used to make a sugar-free apple pie that wasn't half bad, but I haven't seen it in a while.

When I was a kid I'd actually scrape the apples out of the pie and leave them for my mother and then just eat the crust. That's the best part of the pie anyway, if made properly. (::Linda drools thinking of Table Talk pie crust...::)

Threesome: addicted-- Okay, what is it you are addicted to, that element of your life you simply cannot do without. Reading? The Net? Little porcelain dolls? Oh, yeah: Money? Nah, make it something you'd spend your spare change on...

Books, books, books...
