The Day I Was Grateful for Pie

Today I hosted book club.  My friend offered her home as we have sickies here (will this stomach flu ever end?).  We read the book Shooting the Moon about a girl who's brother goes off to Vietnam.  I made a Vietnamese dessert and an typical American dessert from the 1960's:  Baked Alaskan Pie.  I'd never made it before and it was perfect!

I'm grateful that I am willing to try to recipes and that my friends and family are willing to try them.

So, here's to trying new things.

Here's to making the best.

And here's to a Better Mommy Me.
