In honor of Michelangelo’s death and Toni Morrison’s birth

On this day in history, Michelangelo died in 1564, and Toni Morrison was born in 1931.

Toni Morrison said “At some point in life the world’s beauty becomes enough. You don’t need to photograph, paint, or even remember it. It is enough.”

Luckily, Michelangelo still sculpted David, and I remember these amazing magnets. They also had a version for Venus, and they were sold in museum gift shops.

Depression era Water Pie

I like trying new things, and when I saw the ‘Water Pie’, I thought that will be a fun/funny addition to the festivities for an after Christmas get-together. Have any of you ever heard of this or tried it? I used some extra dough and made 2 little stockings, coated in sugar – but they overbaked. I’ll comment later how the pie tasted. -krisgo

  • 1 9-inch unbaked pie shell, chilled
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 5 tablespoons butter, cut into thin slices
  • Optional: a pinch of cinnamon
