I'm back, bitches!!!  Thanks to Mammy Jane, who doled out her chocolate pie recipe while simultaneously rehydrating from her vigorous exercise class with a glass of White Zin.  I told her my tragic story from Sunday, and she interrupted me right when I started to describe the chocolate cake's demise with "You know, I just love you so much."  Right back atcha, Mammy, even though I know you are more likely to enter a Tom Cruise look-alike contest than log on to this atrocity of convenience known as the Internet. 

Suffice it to say, the chocolate pie turned out just plain superb.  I didn't attempt the meringue, because meringue is, to quote my mother, "like a bitch who won't put out."  At least to our taste buds.  In other words, you work at it, you pamper, you make sure it's comfortable, then wham, you get the door slammed in your face, either because the meringue has collapsed into a simpering pile of sugar and egg whites, or because it turned out perfectly, and you decide to try it only to get what tastes like... a simpering pile of sugar and egg whites.  I'd much rather have Cool Whip.  It may be cheap, it may be a late night booty call you don't quite respect, but goddamn it, it leaves you feeling satisfied every time.

So anyone who wants a piece, stop by my place.  No need to call first.
