Mark claimed he wasn't a baker (but agreed he could cook). However, he made this peach pie from scratch on Saturday, July 1, 2006, in our small apartment kitchen. He rolled out the dough for the crust, and used a wire basket we'd bought the previous day at a Bed, Bath, and Beyond in Fort Worth to dip fresh peaches in hot water to make them easier to peel.
My big contribution to this effort was purchasing the peaches from Vogel Orchard (operated by the family of my college friend Carolyn Vogel) in Stonewall the previous weekend. I had gone to nearby Fredericksburg to visit my parents after attending a memorial service in New Braunfels with them, for my great aunt Edith Elizabeth Wolfe Smith Murff Brown Gould Knox, who died May 31 at age 95.
Oh, and that shirt he's wearing? I picked that out for him, It was the only shirt with a paisley pattern I could find - I was looking for one similar to the one he wore in my favorite photo of him.
