pie and moolah

Good morning.
I just got back from my morning walk.
The weather has been perfect! Sunny and 80's.
Been busy cleaning and baking.
Baked another pie this week.

A black seedless grape pie. They had the grapes on sale for just .88 lb. Usually black grapes are hard to find at any price!
To keep it a bit healthier, I used Splenda for the sugar substitute and a crumb topping instead of another crust. Looks like I could have used a little more cornstarch to hold it together.   :-)

It is very good! Black grapes have more substance and flavor compared to green or red.
And I won $109 at the casino!
We get a promotional mailing from our local casino nearly every month. This month we had $20 in free slot play divided into $5 increments, one for each week. So we go over once each week, stick our card in a machine, load the $5 free slot play and play until we use up the free slot play, and cash out whatever we might have left. Sometimes it's .20. Sometimes, it's $1 or $2 dollars. Sometimes the machine takes it all. Well this week, I  hit 9 matching somethings on one spin, and won $109.00! Cashed it out and left very happy!
So besides the free slot play we occasionally get in the mail and the weekly free slot tournament we go to, over at the Fiesta Casino, we get our gambling fix in without spending a penny!
Now it's time to go out and buy a Sunday paper, and get a raspberry fritter to go with our coffee.    :-)
