With this post, we will transport ourselves all the way back to the first day of spring, on Friday March 20th. That's when friend and fellow UNC alum Chris was back at the house for a visit and a bit of supper. We had chocolate chess pie for dessert, where I depended on a new recipe as well as store-bought crust (and I know I'm not getting any better at pie and pastry crust by avoiding practicing!). Dense and chocolatey, sweet and tempting, we all thought our pieces were too small...but too small also might have been the remaining vacancy in our well-sated bellies.
While I try to stay up to date with this blogging obsession, given that I've somehow had something to drivel and dribble about every single day since 2010, I do sometimes end up with a backlog of posts waiting in the queue. Sometimes that's because a lot has been going on and I do like the dependability of this forum for documentation (when did the dryer belt break? what was the recipe source I used when making...?). Sometimes it's because I know I have work travel coming up and the posts need to be ready to step into those empty slots where house shenanigans are concerned. All three regular readers of the blog are aware of this, of course, and they'll each in their own way acknowledge something they spotted on the blog, inadvertently feeding my compulsion to persist with these entries whether there's anything worth posting about at all. What it all leads to, of course, is a pie post about something from 8 days prior!
