My first pie

I find it hard to believe, and it's even more difficult to say but I don't think I have ever baked a pie until this weekend. During the holidays Ben is "The pie guy". So I don't think I have ever had the chance to make one. I'm not saying I don't bake my share of deserts, just not pies. But with the summer weather and me feeling home sick I had a craving for some Key Lime pie. Occasionally when I go to the grocery store i will spot a bag of Key limes and I try and talk myself into getting the courage to bake this pie, but I always find an excuse not too. This weekend there was no excuse. It was a long weekend, with warm weather and a strong urge for some traditional Florida style pie. Must have been pretty good because it only lasted about two days. Well worth the effort of squeezing those tiny limes ;-)

    Seriously, we have a key lime tree, and the patient soul who can make a pie of those tiny things is worthy of canonization.
