Last weekend, we had one of the many Christinas of the family to stay. A photo was taken recently of all the living Christinas (including mum) and they totalled five - including the not so living there's another 3 going back three generations and before that... well for before that I'd need to dig out the family tree. And I'm not that committed to producing a post about my family tree. Not to mention I've probably already lost your interest!
The bottom line is, it's safe to say I feel pretty left out being an Amie.
But back to the baking! So in honor of Christina's visit mum cooked a proper meal with a beginning and a middle, but left the end to me - on request of Mother Christina I went back to my roots and made Key Lime Pie, one of her favourites from when we lived in the States.
Key Lime Pie gets its name from Key West in Florida where it was originally made, the home of the limes. Traditionally, a Key Lime Pie would have a graham cracker base but alas I'm in grey and dull Britain and so a digestive base it is. This, plus the can of condensed milk, does sadly mean this tasty morsel isn't lactose free (sob!) but it's worth it. Because to be blunt, it tastes awesome.
My Key Lime Pie was gobbled up pretty quick so I assume it tasted as good! It was also surprisingly easy and quick to make so I would reccomend it to anyone, even a novice; it's bound to impress.
