Treacle Treat...NOT

I was pumped to make a treacle pie. Not only does this pie have a major connection with Harry Potter, and I'm a big Harry Potter fan...okay not super huge, like I'm going to dress up like Hermione for Halloween, but I did have children so I can go to the new Harry Potter theme park without looking like a desperate thirty-something trying to escape reality. But also, this pie was recommended to me by my Brit-tastic friend, Lara.

This pie -- treacle pie -- has one sneaky ass ingredient that is hard to find. All over the Interwebs it said, go to Whole Foods, it's at Whole Foods, you'll find it at Whole Foods. I'm at Whole Foods this evening, and it is not here. It is not there. It's nowhere. One WF employee said he works the baking area and has never heard of golden syrup. Well, crap. So, it's 8:18 p.m., and I really, really don't feel like figuring out what pie to bake (did I tell you I was snarky?) and then baking it tonight. I will work up a recipe for tomorrow and have, yet another, Thursday Night Pie. Dippity doh.

My Treacle Treat pie (so punny) will have to be wait-listed until I can find that silly syrup. Someday, someday. We can all dream.
