I have been quiet on this blog for quite some time. There have been many reasons for this. Many of you who know me in real life know the real reasons. You know what has been going on. You have been here for the laughs and tears. You don't need this blog to find out what I am up to. I have thought of writing posts many times over the past few months, but they just never made it. Today I am motivated.
The food blogging world is a tight knit community. There are many blogs that I follow. It is as if I invite these bloggers into my kitchen each day. I get so much inspiration from reading about their food. I become invested in what they write. When something happens it ripples through the blogging community quickly. Jennie from In Jennie's Kitchen suddenly lost her husband last week. A sudden heart attack. One minute everything is fine, the next, everything is changed. In order to show support for Jennie, I made her Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie that was a favorite of her husband.
The point of all this is to draw attention to the ones we love. Friday was an extremely busy day for me, yet I still found time to make this pie for my family. Lamar really enjoyed it. He liked the fact that I took the time to show some extra love. I served it with a big hug and "I Love You." The pie was extremely rich, so we only ate a small amount of it. On Saturday we headed to the Cabin where I shared the rest of the pie with friends, thus spreading the love.
You never know what happens tomorrow. All you can do is love the people who are important to you today...and make them a pie.
