Tonight's Pie Will Be...

Avocado! Psych. It's Peanut Brittle! There were some last-minute votes. I think those votes might be my husband stacking the deck. Yeah, it is. He buys my ingredients on the way home from work, and I sent him the list for avocado pie. Shortly thereafter, peanut brittle took the lead. I'm on to you, babe. Doesn't take a rocket scientist.

So, I'll make peanut brittle pie (how the hell am I going to do that?) and I'll post pics on Thursday. Do know that I'm baking it on Wednesday night...hence the name of the blog, "Wednesday Night Pies." A girl can only do so much in one night, and baking will be it, plus cleaning up after dinner, getting the kids ready for bed and in bed, laundry, showering, scrubbing the bathroom floors with a toothbrush, spackling and painting over the cracks in our walls, moving furniture, waxing my legs...you name it.

In the meantime, here's a picture of the cake I made for my son's third birthday. I probably shouldn't put a cake photo up on a pie blog. That's so wrong. The world may come out of alignment. It's like buying bananas and tampons at the grocery store. But pie, don't worry...you are my first love.
