The Idaho waterfront masterpiece by architects McCall Design and Planning is built into rugged granite boulders that face Payette Lake.  According to James Brillon, "Cliff House is named for its placement on a steep slope in a wooded area. The design was informed by the natural context, which helped determine the layout of the home's three levels as they step down the hillside."

We made a PEACH PIE

We made a Peach Pie. I don't think I've ever baked a pie. I find the whole dough portion a little tedious. Thank heavens for Junebug (my mother)! Bella, our recent adopted rescue dog, was our sous chef.

This turned out wonderful. The recipe had a fancier "lattice" top but we made a simpler one. 

We didn't make the dough as the recipe directs. I bought packaged dough in the refrigerated section. 

The recipe is here:  https://zoebakes.com/2018/07/22/peach-pie/
