"It wouldn't be Christmas," my husband says, "without some sort of Leilani disaster."
Fixing pie continues to present challenges. What happened yesterday wasn't exactly a disaster, but the presentation suffered a bit. The crumb crust I made from vanilla cookies for the banana cream pie that was dessert at yesterday's meal was like concrete and very difficult to cut with the knife. And after I did finally mange to wrestle the piece I was trying to serve to our guest onto the spatula, I flipped it upside down on her plate. And the crust was in chunks.
The misadventures yesterday with the pie, and our ability to laugh at them -- and probably just as important my ability to laugh at myself -- were a blessing in disguise. Yesterday was such a joy.
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
I think all of us got a good dose of medicine yesterday, and I am hoping our bones were nourished as well.

Did you all finish the upside down pie...right side up or upside down I bet it tasted the same! I am not a great cook either and have had many mishaps in the kitchen.
I hope you had a Merry Christmas! How can you not think of people that were important to you on special days...I think that is just normal.
Good for all of you. Who cares if the pie is a little misshapen. Bet the taste was still very good. Wishing you a very good 2017.
