Last week I made chocolate fudge pie. It called for store-bought pie crust. The only one our store had came as a 2 pack. Left with a spare pie crust I looked for something to make with it. This looked good, was so easy to make and tasted delicious. I used Granny smith apples simply because I had them home already. This was the first time ever for me to whip something up without having to run to the store to buy any of the ingredients. Think I might be successfully domesticated one day!

Draga, I was expecting to see a picture of your pie, taken with that fancy new camera.
You know Draga that mine did not look like that. Tasted great and looked nice when it came out of the oven but then I cut into it and…nobody is ready for that kind of honesty.
I have stolen the laptop, and managing to finally catch up with you before it’s swiftly retieved once again! this looks great and i’m sure it tasted even better. ‘liking’ and loving as usual…if a little later this time. blame the kids…

so you just whipped up a pie? good lord, woman, what’s next? refinishing the furniture? knitting sweaters? If you get too domesticated, you’re going to make it really, really hard for the rest of us. (But that pie looks YUMMY)
