“Turning 60 is FUN!”—The Sweet Triathlomom
A recent workout consisted of a series of sprints from car to ice-cold parking lot to supermarket to party store and back (in addition to, um, some vigorous fanning of our kitchen smoke detector). I figure I can train just about any day, but my mom only turns 60 once.
My sister and I were throwing her a dinner party, for which I’d decided to attempt one of Mom’s favorite desserts, key lime pie. Turns out it’s quite easy. I knew I wouldn’t have the patience to squeeze 12 key limes—I’m an Olympic-distance triathlete, not an Ironman—so I searched for a recipe that called for bottled juice. This one from Epicurious was a hit with our 13 guests. My family and I are lime lovers, but if you’d prefer a pie with less bite, you could eliminate the extra 2 T juice (I used Nellie and Joe’s brand). Leftover alert: The recipe calls for 4 egg yolks—use the whites that remain in vanilla cupcakes.*
*Or a really big egg white omelet.**
**Yeah, the cupcakes sound a lot better to me, too.
