Josie is too young to appreciate pie. However the three day weekend provides enough time, for the first time since her arrival, to go back to "Killer Pies" and choose a recipe. Rhubarb is in the market, but I figured on going with a non-fruit pie. I settled on Lemon Chess Pie.
This was the first use of a new metal pie pan. The crust is baked before filling, and the pan has a few vent holes in the bottom to let the steam out. It takes a little faith to believe the filling won't ooze out these tiny holes, and while the filling was not a problem, the butter in the crust did drip and smoke a little. The ends justify the means (and the cleanup).
Josie & Jordi & Jen were here for our Memorial Day cookout. We had a nice meal and dessert. The pie gets a thumbs up, but Josie was fussing, maybe because she wasn't offered any?
