Doom Goo Day

Happy Pi(e) Day!  In honor of our family's favorite irrational number (pi = 3.14...), we make pie for dinner and dessert every 3/14!

After church today, Anna helped me juice lemons and stir the filling for a lemon pie . . .

. . . which jiggled ominously when we put it in the fridge to chill.  I worried that the filling hadn't set up enough to hold its shape.  Only time would tell.

Meanwhile, snow was falling thickly outside . . .

. . . as I worked on shepherd's pie (or as my mom and her college roommates liked to call it, "shepherd stuff") for dinner.  And the lemon pie, you ask?  It didn't set up and was a total mess to serve.  The kids dubbed it "doom goo," but agreed that it was really delicious doom goo.  Their mother quietly resolved to consult the internet for lemon pie troubleshooting tips, and make another lemon pie attempt very soon. 'Cuz sometimes you win, and sometimes you learn.
