Fruit hot pocket pies.

Well, that is the plan.  I finally got started.  It's not that difficult if it is time consuming.  I just need to make enough crust for two pies.  First though, butter needs to be diced into 1/4 to 1/8 inch pieces.  This time the pieces nearly melted while I was working.  So they have gone into the freezer for an half hour.  Everything else is ready, and I cleaned the spot I need for rolling that out.  I have thawed two packages of peaches and a package of cherries.  Frozen was all I could expect at this time of year, but there is nothing added, not even sugar.  Organic too, if not by preference.  There simply wasn't a choice for the fruits I was looking for. 

After I mix the crust I will let that refrigerate for a while, perhaps put it in the freezer for a quicker cool down.  In that time I will mix the fruit with whatever amount of sugar seems necessary.  Peaches and cherries are rather sweet.  Still, depending on type, they may need more than I suspect.  A bit of allspice for the peaches should be a nice add.  I may combine, and let it all sit and stew in the refrigerator, baking the pies fresh for the visit.  Even if I sleep in late again, there should still be plenty of time.  Fresh baked is better, and it is nearing bedtime. 

I have attempted to tinker with a few things, attempting to update my video card, Steam, and then do a workaround for silver... somethingorother... a program that is supposed to let me watch videos on amazon.  Another try, a bit of tinkering, nothing successful.  I am told that the video card drivers are up to date, so that wasn't actually a failure.  Everything else was.  Oh, and I did get a load of dishes set to soak.  I have drained off the goo... cheese and menudo make for messy dishes.  Combine them and, well...  Actually I have drained them off twice.  I did a bit of spot washing in there, but not a real wash.  Too messy, the water was too nasty for much more than scraping of cheese.  Should be ready for a first wash tomorrow morning, after I get the pies going.

It's been a slog of a day.  Late to start.  Never really did get going.  Didn't get much done.  Did what I could, I suppose.  Later...  Or, actually, good night.
