Or as it's called in the backwoods, Thanksgiving. Good eating is good eating. I think we have vastly different ideas on what good eating is. You do realize I'm talking about road kill opossum and raccoons, right? Just want to make sure you fully grasp what you're claiming is good eating before you come to visit.

I have almost no sense of smell or taste, so it all tastes like chicken to me.
Edit: And in fairness I probably exaggerate my lack of smell and taste, I do taste things and smell stuff just not as much.

It annoys me that my brothers insist no one bring dishes for the christmas feast.
It wouldn't be so bad if they knew how to cook.
And i spent fifteen years as a chef and professional baker! Paul McCartney loved my pies and you're seriously telling me NOT to bring pies...

You fools! Everyone knows if you want a decent fajita you make it out of a Chrysler!!
I fry it in a pan on the stove, put on some safety glasses and watch it like a hawk, fiddling with it, or flipping it as I feel is necessary.
I wonder if i can reverse engineer a chicken into a Tyrannosaurus Rex?

I want a really nice rolling pin.
The place to go for that in Madison is West Towne Mall.
Eye twitches, ever so slightly.
That reminds me I need to get a new rolling pin before making pies tomorrow.

Today over my lunch break I had to cut, trim, rinse, rub, arrange, and baste a dozen racks of ribs. It took around 40 minutes, but it was remarkably tiring. the notion of doing that for 4-5 hours, then spending another 4-5 hours cooking and serving it all on-demand is... daunting...
It's not hard once you've done it for awhile.

I should hope so, a love of pie is practically woven into your DNA.

Pies came out wonderful.
And I just found the lemons I forgot I bought last week in the fridge, which means I should make some Buttermilk Chess Pies tomorrow, or Wednesday.
Once you get on a pie making jag, it's hard to break off of it.
Looks at the eggs, bacon, and cheese sitting next to each other enticingly in the fridge, practically begging to be made into a quiche.

So, apparently the pain of the limes clouded my memory to exactly how ridiculously easy Key Lime pies are.
1 baked pie crust
4 egg yolks
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon of finely shredded lime peel
half a cup of lime juice (about 10-12 key limes)
1) Beat egg yolks with a wire whisk or fork. Gradually stir in sweetened condensed milk; add lime peel, and lime juice. Mix well (mixture will thicken slightly).
2) Spoon filling into your baked pie crust. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Chill for 2-3 hours before serving (with home whipped whipping cream, preferably).
3) Everyone gives you high fives.

You haven't felt pain until you zest and juice enough key limes for four pies. After a week of working in landscaping.
They were damn good pies though.

I once had to zest and juice 40 key limes once after working a full week.
You never realize how nicked up your hands get during the course of a week of landscaping until you have to zest and juice 40 key limes.
But man, those were the best g+@+$%n key lime pies i've ever had.
I haven't made it since. :-)
