You won’t catch me doing this again, but this time, the clock got me.

I resolved to post twice a month this year. I don’t know if you’ve been counting, but you have probably at least noticed (if you’ve been following my blog escapades for a few years) that my Peace of Pie presence has increased this year (Yay for goals!)

It’s May 31st, 9:12 pm aka my normal bedtime and it also happens to be my 32nd birthday. I had such a busy week and thought, I’ve got nothing much going on on Sunday after church and Levi won’t be working, I could totally write my second May post on the 31st.

Umm…my day got FILLED with flowers, surprise doorstep visits and cards and gifts, a virtual G + T (It was real, but I shared it with my best friend virtually, in case anyone was confused), phone calls and messages, ice cream, sushi…I am NOT complaining!

So here is my briefer than anticipated post (pictures follow without commentary) about an Oatmeal Raisin Pie with a Tender Cream Cheese Crust, because…May is almost over. If you add questions to the comments, I’ll explain more in June. 😉 For example, you could ask: Is this like a pecan pie with oats? A: Yes. Or, Is this basically the best oatmeal raisin cookie you’ve ever had? A: Yes. Are you responsible for your daughter’s love of ice cream? A: Again, Yes.

Pies on a Mission

This is a tale of two pies. Pies whose mission took them far, far away from home, to the desert of Palm Springs.

Dessert in the desert.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves! First we must introduce the main characters.

Shoofly Pie. This volunteer, made mainly with sugar and molasses, is ready to make the trek of his lifetime. (Thanks to my friend Sarah J. for the A-DORABLE whisk and sticky notes from my favorite store, Anthropologie!)

Oatmeal-Butterscotch Chip Cookie Pie. Rumor had it that this contender was an outstanding choice for bake sales…and to the bake sale he would go. (Thanks Amber…I’m putting your lovely Christmas gifts to good use. They’re also from my favorite store. “Lucky me!” says the gifts-person. See my post Love Language if you’re confused.)

The mission at hand: these pies were designated from birth to raise money for the small school I teach at. A lovely high school senior organized the bake sale in Palm Springs and sent me, the worried mother, this picture message when the pies arrived safely at their destination.

I regret never having tasted these pies. I regretted never having tasted the Oatmeal-Butterscotch pie so much that I immediately made a large batch of cookies with the leftover ingredients and consumed large quantities of them. What I don’t regret is that these two noble volunteers were able to make a small contribution to supporting an awesome group of kids.
