Nut Crust Chocolate Coffee Chiffon Pie (Gluten Free) (I need a better name for this) |
If only I hadn't gone to spinning
yesterday, I'd have no idea that today is pie day (or rather pi day -
you know 3.14 - March 14th). Why why why (shaking fist in
the air) did pi day have to come up in spinning class? You are
suppose to be spinning, not guilting me into making pie. Granted I'd
have nothing to post about, but I'd also be caught up on laundry and would NOT have changed into stretchy pants (to make room for all of the pie filling I ate). Anyway (grumble grumble grumble) Happy Pie Day (I've got to go clean the kitchen now) . . .
While I do that, you can peruse some pics from my adventure . . .
Do you know how bloggers get those really cool pictures where amazingly delicious ingredients are pouring into the bowl. I tried to get one of those pictures - I missed the bowl . . .
It would also appear that I need more practice separating eggs - I had to go through more than the recipe called for. Oh well, I had an omelet for lunch.
The ingredients do look lovely here I think . . .
And finally, the recipe that I begged off of my mother in law yesterday (with minor modifications) . . .
