Me neither. But not because I lost them, I just left them at the store. Confused yet? Ok, answer me this: What does Life do when it's out of lemons? It gives you limes. And what do you do when Life gives you limes? Why, make pie, of course! And we all know Life only has standard limes, not the Key variety.
On Tuesday Lola and I had dentist appointments. It was great, the ladies in the office passed Lucy around to keep her from crying so I could get my teeth cleaned. Then they waited for my to nurse her so I could sit with Lola while she got her teeth cleaned. It was Lola's first time with anything other than the dentist's fingers in her mouth and she did great! And guess what? No cavities! So, to celebrate, I made a lime pie!
While perusing Foodgawker, as I so often do, I found a great little EASY recipe for lime pie at Bake at 350 called Mr. E's Not-So-Key Lime Pie. I was in the mood for an easy pie and I was fresh out of Key limes, plus, if you get Key limes you have to hire the elves with the tiny hands to squeeze the tiny limes and it just turns into a big hassle. But, I digress. So I have limes, and eggs and graham crackers in my pantry and for some reason I happen to have a can of sweetened, condensed milk. Can you believe I had all the ingredients?! I know, I could hardly believe it myself. So I crushed, baked, zested, mixed, and baked again. And viola! Exceptionally easy, yet tremendously tasty lime pie! I even zested and juiced fresh limes instead of using pre-packaged stuff. For those of you who know how lazy I am, that's how easy it was. You can find the recipe here, give it a whirl!
Can't wait for the nummy topic for the next blog.
