Hey Amy!

Growing up, Nany always made the grown up pies for the adults while she made special pies for Garnet & I.  We would get lemon meringue, chocolate cream and occasionally banana cream pie.  The chocolate cream pie was always my favorite because the peaks of the meringue fascinated me.  Well, that and also because it [...]

I am sitting here this morning dreaming of very thinly sliced Lebanon Bologna.
