Baking when it is 95 degrees outside

Today there is a fundraiser at work and I volunteered to bake a pie. Of course, I didn't know it was going to be a blast furnace when I was baking the pie. I was talking with my friend Larry (thank you Blue Tooth technology) as I was baking and told him that although I was literally sweating over a hot stove there was nothing I would rather be doing. It was great. Now, I just hope I win a prize for those lemon meringue pies! Oh, and Larry gave me permission to turn on my central air. It has been blasting all night. I hope this house will cool off sometime soon - especially since the air conditioning is not working at my workplace.

The chicken lamp was added to the photo for the benefit of my friend Pam, who has an inexplicable fondness for chickens - and should compile a book of her chicken stories.

I am off to church. Happy and Sober Thursday everyone.
