Peanut Butter Cream Pie using a new hand mixer

 

Last month's birthday produced well wishes in the form of greeting cards, gift cards and special phone calls. All appreciated by this recipient.

With a  couple of the gift cards I purchased a new hand mixer.

It came with the attachments below.

The chances of me making bread or using the milk shake attachment is pretty slim. I usually use a blender for  whirling and whirring liquids around.  The twisted wire beaters will be the most often used.

There's a storage case that attaches to the bottom of the mixer to keep all of the attachments together. I like that. The mixer even boasts that it can rest on the rim of the mixing bowl without tilting over.  I'll  see about that.

Peanut Butter Cream Pie

The recipe is listed as ??Prize Peanut Cheesecake

but I was told this is a misnomer because it isn't baked like a traditional cheesecake and the filling doesn't contain eggs. I'm willing to concede to modern standards so that's why I'm calling it Peanut Butter Cream Pie. Why quibble?🙄

* Correction: The recipe on the LEFT...

1. Gather the ingredients.

2. Cream together cream cheese and peanut butter.

3. Put peanut butter jar in microwave to melt it and get my money's worth.😏 After all I paid for the peanut butter that's at the bottom of the jar and that sticks to the sides of the jar.

4. Fold in the whipped topping.

SCREECH>>>>>>

The mixer WILL stand on the rim of the bowl without toppling over. 👍

5.  The prepared  (store bought) graham cracker pie shell

6. The filling is poured into the pie shell.

7. The pie is covered and allowed to set.

8. A slice of peanut butter pie. 

Delicious😋

That's it ***

Birthday

I had a birthday a few weeks ago. This one doesn't actually count since I only celebrate every leap year in October. (Figure it out). In my mind I'm still 44 though my mirror and the government  has me in a different decade.

I'd signed up a couple years ago for the FREE Ruby Tuesday's birthday burger. I downloaded my online coupon and went to my closest Ruby Tuesday's.  It was Classic Weekend so the place was pretty empty.
 When I went to Ruby Tuesday's two years ago, I had a burger and fries. This time was even better. I was offered my choice of burger and choice of two sides. I chose the bleu cheese burger, salad bar and baked potato.  By any account that is a lot of food.   On top of that the waitress  forgot to ask me if I'd like to try the shrimp fondue appetizer. If she forgets, I get it free. She forgot but,  I told her I didn't want the appetizer. That would be downright gluttony.

This is the time I should have made like a little old lady and pilfered some of that food in a ziplock bag and stashed it in my purse.

Here's my downloaded coupon

And here is my meal.

The burger was delicious. I didn't eat the bun. I wrapped it up and put it in my purse.
In the past I've also had a coupon to Coldstone's Creamery but I forfeited that one this year.

A friend e-mailed me a list of businesses that grant senior citizen's discounts. Some I qualify for now according to my government age and some I'll qualify for in the next few years. I'm keeping the list handy.

 

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!

That's a lot of territory to cover but, somebody has got to do it, why not me.

THAT'S IT***
