Ultimately, I decided that I am incapable of making a decision so I slept in then ate left over pie for breakfast. Last year I conquered the best biscuits ever, cherry pie and pumpkin cheesecake. This year I attempted a healthier (if there is such a thing) dessert. I made a lemon custardy thing with a graham cracker crust.
First I crunched up some cinnamon graham crackers.
Which I managed to do without popping the bag! <---Respect.
I mixed eggs, condensed milk, lemon juice and some lemon rind then poured it into my pie crust. FYI: Juicing lemons + dry hands = OUCH!
I baked my pie/custard thing for 15 minutes but it was still liquidy. So I baked it some more. Eventually I gave up and took it out even though it was still wiggly. Everyday Mom insisted that because it was custard-like it would set up. I believed her. Perhaps one reason it was so gooey was because the recipe called for 11 oz of condensed milk but the can was 14 oz so I just poured it in until I thought it looked like right. I will (probably) measure it in the future. But after some time in the fridge it looked like pie! Like custard! Like lemon goodness!
It was delicious and everyone loved it. Obviously.
After all was said and done, I headed home with Christmas songs on the radio and marked the start to the holiday season by watching ELF! The time has officially come to go Christmas crazy. Deck the halls, sing your fa-la-las, bake those cookies, put up a tree, send holiday cards, string the lights, watch Elf every day, cut paper snowflakes, knit a scarf and be merry. I will be doing all of this and more starting today even though it is 60 degrees out on the day after Thanksgiving!
