Key Lime Pie

All I knew was that I bought a bag of key limes at the beach and I better damn well find way to use them. I was positively giddy. First things first: key lime fudge. Oh, it was so so so good (details to follow in another post).

I wanted key lime pie - I'm pretty sure I've never had it, but it has to be good, right? I had never made a custard based pie, and had never even made a graham cracker crust. I was having friends for the weekend and built a menu around the pie. It was my centerpiece.

Did it pass muster? I went to Thomas for the skinny. "It's not that great mom, sorry." What?! Dost mine ears deceive me? Flabbergasted, I pressed for more details. A smile crept across his face -"JUST kidding! It's awesome!"

    This pie was the cats pyjamas, as was the fudge. I can vouch for it. If you could mail me one, that would be great. xo

    It looks perfect--and I AM a connoisseur of Key Lime pie! I have actually eaten some (pitiful) Key Lime pies that were GREEN! WHY? (I'm pretty sure I made you eat Key Lime pie when we were in the Keys!) I can't wait for you to make me one!
