Today is Tyrone’s first day of school. When I was young, my mother made us pose for first day of school pictures. Sometimes she’d have the teacher pose in the picture with us. Now I get electronic pictures from relatives on their first day of school.

This tradition has carried over to my family. For the past 3 years that I have known Tyrone, I take a picture of him on his first day of teaching. After working the same job without breaks for years and years, I am somewhat jealous of the clear boundaries of the academic year.

I’ve been trying to piece this website back together and get it all updated. While waiting for some databases to update, I made a pie.

This is a peach and nectarine pie, based on the recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. Tyrone’s mother swears by the oil-based crust, but I couldn’t get it to roll out properly without crumbling or sticking. The bottom crust is just pushed into place, and the top crust was formed into small circles that I could cover the pie with. The recipe also calls for the pie to be topped with brown sugar, butter, and pecans, but I’ve got more work to get done now.
