Did you know that people who bake pies have a blood pressure level one-third lower than that of society at large. When you bake a pie, you can't help but smile and feel in harmony with the world. (Well, maybe not one third lower, but it ought to be!). Just for fun here is one of the many famous recipes from the renowned "Breaking Bread With The Amonetts" family cookbook. We will feature different recipes each month. If you have a new recipe you want to share, send it in! |

The clock of life is wound but once,
and no man has the power
to tell just when the hands will stop,
at late or early hour.
Now is the time you own,
Live, love, toil with a will;
Place no faith in tomorrow,
For the clock may then be still..
