At last, I return with key lime pie!

Now that it's been nearly two years, with the encouragement of friends and my mother, I've come to a decision that it's now time to REVIVE my blog! An exciting and perhaps absurd endeavour. But I am committed! Perhaps I'll add the upkeep of my blog to my list of new year resolutions, that way I can be held accountable for such a task, considering it is now in (internet) print, for ALL of cyberspace to see.

Yes. That's right, I'm doing this.

Fortunately I love to bake, cook, AND eat! So I'm quick to think (but mostly hope), that this now written commitment won't be an overwhelming or stressful one. It really does help to say these things out loud you know, or rather write them down, so to eaaaaaase my own doubt, as if I'm asking you, whoever you are, to reassure me, because it really shouldn't be that bad. I mean, all I have to do is take a few pictures and write a couple of paragraphs............ Right? Don't you think? ...............Right?.......

I will do my best.

Here, I have a simple but tasty recipe for key lime pie. I found this recipe on the blog: thekitchensinkrecipes.com. I've made it countless times, and it's almost always a success, so definitely worth a try!
