"This is a variation on a pie recipe from a Farmer's cookbook I got years ago. If you can buy fresh peaches in bulk in the summer, as we can here in Colorado, you must make this pie. To easily peel peaches, cut "x's" in their bottoms, drop in boiling water for 1 minute, then plunge into an ice-water bath. The skins will peel right off. (This works great for tomatoes too.)"

I am a wildlife biologist, writer, and artist living in Northern Colorado. Cooking is one of my favorite activities, second only to watching Alton Brown on food network, or Anthony Bourdain on the travel channel. I also get a kick out of prowling antique malls looking for vintage cookware. I just want to share that I am a breast cancer survivor and was diagnosed youngish and early. Look forward to hearing from anyone with recipes that use cancer-fighting ingredients. Also, although I earn most of my living as a biologist, I am an artist and sell inexpensive but high-quality reproductions of my original animal/wildlife paintings online. While I can't quit my day job yet, support from sales allow me to donate artwork to conservation causes, as silent auction items, calendars, and greeting cards. My web site is listed below. <embed src=http://www.ecrater.com/widget.swf quality=high bgcolor=#ffffff width=266 height=268 name=widget align=middle allowScriptAccess=sameDomain allowFullScreen=false type=application/x-shockwave-flash pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer flashVars=&path_xml=widget.php&size=s&shape=sq&sid=54996&flash=1/> I like recipes that are simple enough that I can memorize them. This doesn't mean that I don't tackle complicated ones, just that I think it's good to have an arsenal of easy ones for any occasion. It is helpful as well to understand the science behind cooking, so you can develop your own versions of favorite dishes. It also helps if your top recipes are adaptable, in case you're missing an ingredient. <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <img src=http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/curriedcurrajongs.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg>
