bummer about the flat.

It looks like it's possible to have root beer and pie at the same time -- Root Beer Pie

12 ounces Root beer -- chilled
1 cup Light corn syrup
1/4 cup Dark brown sugar
2 Tablespoons Butter
3 Eggs
1 cup Chopped pecans
1 Egg white -- beaten
1 Prepared pie crust
Pecans halves -- for garnish

Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Pour root beer into a sauce pan and heat over a medium flame. Reduce liquid until it is a syrup-like consistency. Let cool slightly. Melt the butter in a separate pan.

Combine the reduced root beer with corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, flour and chopped pecans and mix with a wire whisk until thoroughly blended. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and stir well into a syrup mixture.

Prick the pie crust with a fork and then brush lightly with egg white. Pour the filling in to the shell, garnish with pecan halves and bake in the center of the oven for approximately 40 minutes. When a knife stuck in the center comes out clean, the pie is done. Cool before serving.

hmm...let me know how that pie turns out......

i woke up this morning after only 4.5 hours of sleep because i heard something that sounded like metal falling somewhere in my condo. i got up and looked around, but never found what it was. freaky. then i couldn't fall back asleep. ugh.

hmmmmm, i think i'll add that little story to my boring journal.
