Happy Mother's Pie Day!

Today, in celebration of Mother's Day, I made a pie, because, after all, what more can describe my mom and my relationship better than pie?
The answer is nothing!

So I decided to experiment. And I made my very FIRST custard pie all by myself. And let me tell you something, it is one stressful pie to make at time. It has a very liquidy inside when you put it in the pan and it fills the pie shell to the brim, so naturally, being the klutz that I am, I spilled some in the heated oven.

See how liquidy that is? ---->


This is what I had to put in the oven! Ahhh!


I had to clean the oven. Grr! But after all of that worrisome business, I got the pie in without too much damage. 20 minutes later, I had to spin it around so that both sides got the same amount of cook-ness (wow...) 20 minutes LATER, and it comes out semi-beautifully!

Ta-daah!

This is a proud moment. I am very excited for myself. This is like the first time I made the Lemon-Merengue Pie (you remember THAT, right?). I feel succesful. Who cares if it doesn't taste great? I'm not much of a flan fan myself, but knowing that I made it by myself, I will enjoy it. And I know my mom will too!
