Wow-already surpassed last year’s total of $4000 and we are only on Day 11. I love the high energy of the bidding and where it has taken us. You guys are incredible and I hate to stop the momentum, but a lesson I take from Jill Badonsky’s playful approach to living the creative life, is that sometimes we have to slow down to let our souls catch up. Not from making pies, because it is still 30 pies in 30 days challenge, and the challenge is all on me. Not quite baking show level, but lots of good karma in this pie.
I took a quickie YouTube decorating class and tried to make it look like an underwater garden. I was honored they picked my pie to present to Nicole Lebeouf. When Nicole visited before she talked about how ODI makes lemonade out of lemons, but, she said, Did they have a lemon chiffon pie moment? So this year, they wanted to present all their lemon chiffon pie moments along with a lemon chiffon pie. She had previously come to visit ODI as a program that has received the President’s Award for Excellence in Science, Math and Engineering mentoring. I took the pie to Ocean Discovery Institute where they wanted to share a special moment with Nicole. Yesterday’s pie ended up being a gift I presented to Nicole Lebeouf the Director of NOAA’s National Ocean Service. I love surprises and when I see a bag on my porch or hanging from my door knob, I know that there will be some pie thinking on my part to see what I can do with the gift. I love it when my neighbors and friends drop off fruit and little gifts for pie. I’ll let you know when the pie comes out of the fridge. Instead of Key Limes from Florida, when I receive California limes I like to call it a Cal Lime Pie. I found a great recipe for graham cracker crust made with oats instead of graham crackers (yes, I’ll make sure the oats are GF). We are having a Santa Ana condition which means its hot, and a nice cool pie sounds refreshing. Arthur Salm, one of the pie winners gave me a bag of limes from his tree, and it’s citrus season and pie season so it seems I should make a a pie with these limes.
Today’s pie is a gluten-free key lime pie.
