Hah! How late did things go? I was safe to drive, so unsurprisingly no hangover happened here. Those were remarkable margaritas.

You are Ambassador for Baltimore, you know?

Really ought to attack the dustbunnies or the bush. Hrmph. Not feeling either.

Oh, lunch!

Zest? In Key lime pie? Huh.

4 teaspoons of it!

ETA: I was following the America's Test Kitchen Recipe, but even my Pie and Pastry Bible recipe has 1.5 teaspoons of zest. next time, however, I am going way easy on the zest.

“Not dead yet!”

I've never seen a recipe calling for zest. But then again, I found my One True Recipe years ago and any deviations I make are of my own creation.

This was my first. I've never even eaten it before. But it's surprising how many of my friends have told me it's one of their most favourite pies.

“Not dead yet!”

It's a fabulous pie, just the perfect combination of tart and sweet and so easy to make, but like I said, it's odd to see a recipe calling for zest-- not that it's necessarily bad, just different.

FWIW, the recipe I use is Nellie & Joe's. Easy and super fool-proof.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is is just plain hoarding if you're keeping something you weren't supposed to be holding onto even in small amounts? That's just disgusting.

I have a problem handling my mail. But I'm going to have to process the unopened mail this week, before company gets here. Bleh. Just feel avoidant.

I am totally doing this today.

Because my mom shows up tomorrow.

Yeah.

More than a housecleaner, I wish I had someone to handle my stupid daily finances. Right now I'm doing the inputting of receipts into Quicken, and mr. flea is doing the online bill paying, except for some of it, and it's not working at all. So many little fiddly things, due different times, and ARGH.
