Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Pie

First prepare a Graham cracker crust with:

2 c.    Graham cracker crumbs
1/4 c. melted butter
1/4 c. sugar

Bake it at 350 degrees for 10 minutes and let cool.

In a small mixing bowl on medium or high speed, mix until it forms soft peaks:

1/2 c. whipping cream

In another, mix on low speed until very smooth:

3 oz.  cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 c. peanut butter
1/2 c. icing sugar

Still on low speed, mix in the whipped cream.

This is very good for the soul, but maybe not so much for the body. If you want a more Northern approach, make a ganoche with a little whipping cream and chocolate chips to drizzle over the pie. Chill a couple of  hours before serving, if at all possible.

A few years ago I came across a chi-chi luncheon pie, which had a savoury crust (bread crumbs with butter and herbs, and a cream cheese filling with parmesan and sun-dried tomatoes...oh! was it gross! Don't go there, Girlfriend...stick with the Peanut Butter Pie!

Get Rid Of Fruit Flies

Fruit Flies eat the mold developing on rotting fruits, so if you have them, the easiest way to get rid of them is to put a funnel on an almost-empty bottle of wine, and let them go to it. They will get trapped in the wine, and not be able to climb back out the funnel. A little apple cider or balsamic vinegar will work as well!
