Sweet as pie

Continuing my pie theme, I took a silly quiz called "What kind of pie are you?" Turns out, I am a lemon meringue pie. Go figure. I thought I am an apple pie with a crumble topping. Mmmmmm. I sound delicious.

What Kind of Pie Are You?

the old "good pie, bad pie" routine

Last night, I made my first key lime pie. The first attempt was quickly followed by my second attempt. See results below.


This was my first try. It looks like St. Patty's Day threw up in a pie tin.

This was my second try and what key lime pie is supposed to look like.















Not being a family that wastes desserts, we tried the first pie and it was actually good. Ben is eating his second piece right now. I didn't get a taste of the second pie because it went to my girlfriend Caroline as a birthday gift. Wouldn't it be too ironic if the "normal" pie was terrible??

I'm super, thanks for asking!

Birthday weekend 2007 was a success! Here's the recap for those of you keeping score at home.

Pop Quiz: from Thursday, February 22nd to Sunday, February 25th, how many times do you think I had dessert?


Thursday night, Ben and I had a nice date. We went to GoJo's Japanese Steakhouse. Ben caught the shrimp, I didn't (bad toss!). Afterwards we went for drinks.

Friday was the official birthday. I had lunch with some coworkers and dinner with my mom, dad, sister, Ben and Ryan at Chipotle (Boo to no free desert!). Then we headed for the Intercontinental for the evening. Thanks to everyone who was able to make it! Our group topped out at about 30 people. The band was fun, but more mellow than at our wedding. I had a great time so hear are some of the highlights: I received a beautiful desert that I demolished, 4 winning scratch-off tickets and the digits of a long-lost friend from high school! We outlasted the band and made it home around 3...I think.

Saturday was hangover day. I slept until noon, when Ben asked me if I like pancakes. I don't think I have ever gotten out of bed that quickly! The rest of the day we just lounged around in the office. I got my iTunes up and running. Later we went to the movie "the number 23" (in honor of my birthday) with my sister. I really liked the movie and appreciated that it was a thriller and not a horror movie! Then I stayed up too late chatting with my sister.

Sunday, I sung in the choir at church like usual. Then Ben and I went to Planet Sub for lunch. I had the best sandwich ever. The Planet Veggie: Tangy olive spread, fresh red peppers, artichoke hearts, provolone, cheddar, sun-dried tomatoes. Heaven!! At 2:00, my family came over and we had ice cream cake and watched the two flower girls from our wedding have a great time. BFFs!
