As some of you know I like to bake and I have a huge sweet tooth. I especially love pie. I even had pies at my wedding (well there was a cake too but that was Karl's deal not mine and a complete disaster!) Remember my Christmas list a few posts ago, and I wanted a cookbook called Baking, Fom my Home to Yours? Well I just went ahead and bought it a couple of weeks ago since I didn't get it for Christmas, big surprise. It has hundreds of recipes, seriously HUNDREDS! I was in a citrusy mood so I decided to try the Florida Pie as my first recipe from the cookbook. It's basically a key lime pie, but with some coconut and a meringue topping. I'm not a fan of meringue so I just did a whipped cream topping. It was so delicious! At least what I remember from the tiny piece that I got. I made the pie on Sunday and Karl and I had a little piece that night because it was kind of late after having to freeze it for a couple of hours. The next day I went to work, went to bootcamp, and then came home. I was dreaming of having another piece of this yummy pie ALL. DAY. LONG. It was the first time I had ever made this kind of pie and although it wasn't too difficult to make, it wasn't super easy and I was so proud of it that I was going to post a picture of it here on my blog. Well I get home from bootcamp and Karl is actually off work, which is extremely rare because he usually doesn't get off until 9 or later. I walk in the door and he tells me that he gave the pie to our friends Brad and Sarah. YOU WHAT?!!! THE WHOLE PIE?!!! YOU DIDN'T EVEN SAVE US A LITTLE PIECE?!!! Yes, the truth is I had planned on giving it away, but I wanted one last taste at least! And the kicker is I know that he had a piece for himself before he gave it away! Brad did call and say how good it was and that it was all gone the next day. Karl says he had to get rid of it before we ate the whole thing ourselves. But what he really means is he would have eaten 85% of the pie and I would have gotten about 15% if I was lucky. Oh well I'll just have to make it again.
