POTTERY BARN SELLS SUCKS.....and their Customer Service is even worse!!

Isn't this lovely..... Our back deck...beautiful hanging ferns and such a lovely seating area... This is Palmetto outdoor wicker from every one's favorite The Pottery Barn.... we started buying this when we moved in to the new house in August of 2011 and over the years we add new Pieces until we now own 13 pieces of this stuff.... I won't even bring up the bad umbrella's they sold us that had to go in to the trash...they rusted...the wood swelled up they were basically Crap... Now we are not one's to cheap out on everything we buy.... Just some things...I am the frugal one in the family The Boss....not so much... He loved this stuff and after all it was "The Pottery Barn".... Talk about a PR team who makes all of America think this is the end all be all of furniture... Think again people... We must have spent in excess of $10,000.00 on this stuff... Not counting the two sofa's the various tables and our kitchen table and chairs... That figure is ...

It's that time of year again when I like to post one of my All Time Favorite Summer Pie Recipes... It's Peach season down here in Georgia and although Georgia is the "Peach State" I prefer South Carolina peaches...they are fabulous... This is all you need to make this great tasting pie.... Forget about Chocolate and Strawberries... Chocolate with Peaches is an unexpected and delicious Combination.... Here's what you need.... One Oreo cookie crust one package of instant vanilla pudding... I discovered Hershey's puddings and they are very good... one 1/2 pint of heavy whipping cream About 4 to 5 good size ripe peaches... These sat on my counter since last Friday and by today they were perfect...you want the peach to be soft to the touch...don't use a hard peach it will not be sweet... also...buy "freestone" peaches...easier to slice.... Whip the heavy cream in a medium size bowl... refrigerate while you do the remainder steps... Mix the pud...
