Breast Cancer Awareness Month (Pink Marshmallows and Pink Lemonade)

  

 October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I've been fortunate enough, thus far, that this hasn't tainted mine or any of my loved ones' lives. However, I have had experience with other kinds of cancers, and I know how important it is to be informed and recognize all those who have suffered. On Foodbuzz I received a request from the lovely woman behind Oh Cake to read her post about her experiences (especially regarding her friend-and breast cancer survivor-Liz), and about some lovely pink marshmallows. She wants to remind everyone to see your doctor regularly, have mammograms, and remember that cancer is beatable-especially if caught early. Plus these facts:

Peanut Butter Pie for Mikey

I'm new to this food blogging community--let's face it, none of them know this little silly blog exists. But I follow my favorite blogs religiously. Yesterday nearly all of them had peanut butter pie recipes-for Mikey. Another food blogger, Jennie, had the worst tragedy I can imagine befall her. She lost her beloved husband suddenly. I can't even let myself think about what I would do if something happened to Michael, and we've just been together for 2 years, not married and with children like them. My heart is breaking for these people I don't know and I just wanted to share it with you. Apparently, Mikey loved peanut butter pie, and the only thing Jennie asks is that you make some for someone you love. So go read her story and see his favorite peanut butter pie recipe, and take a look here for the peanut butter pie recipe I recently posted (and that, coincidentally, Michael keeps begging me to make again), and go make peanut butter pie for a loved one, let them know how precious they are to you and that you can't imagine life without them. And hug them close. I know I will.
