Yesterday, I made a key lime pie, and this morning, I had it for breakfast, because that is what I do on my birthday! (And Thanksgiving - pie for breakfast is a Thanksgiving tradition in my family.) Here's the recipe I used:

Key Lime Pie

Ingredients
1. For crust
◦ 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs from 9 (2 1/4-inch by 4 3/4-inch) crackers
◦ 2 tablespoons sugar
◦ 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2. For filling
◦ 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
◦ 4 large egg yolks
◦ 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh or bottled Key lime juice (if using bottled, preferably Manhattan brand)

3. For topping
◦ 3/4 cup chilled heavy cream

Preparation
1. Make crust:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Stir together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter in a bowl with a fork until combined well, then press mixture evenly onto bottom and up side of a 9-inch (4-cup) glass pie plate.
3. Bake crust in middle of oven 10 minutes and cool in pie plate on a rack. Leave oven on.


2. Make filling and bake pie:
1. Whisk together condensed milk and yolks in a bowl until combined well. Add juice and whisk until combined well (mixture will thicken slightly).
2. Pour filling into crust and bake in middle of oven 15 minutes. Cool pie completely on rack (filling will set as it cools), then chill, covered, at least 8 hours.


3. Make topping:
1. Just before serving, beat cream in a bowl with an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks. Serve pie topped with cream.

I just bought a premade graham cracker crust though, so it was even easier than it sounds.

I also started clearing out some clothes I no longer wear or that no longer fit etc., one drawer a day to keep it manageable.

For dinner, I made the King Arthur small batch focaccia, but for some reason it stuck to the pan. It was still delicious, just annoying. I still recommend the recipe, just maybe not on a 95°F day. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mostly, I've been reading fic and scrolling on tumblr - it's been a good, relaxing day.
