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!

11/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
