Chocolate Raspberry Ganache Pie

I'm a mean old lady...

It's taken me over a month to share this recipe with you. And that's not cool, guys.

This pie was Michael's birthday dessert this year and it could not have been a better choice. First: it represents 2 of Michael's favorite flavors, dark chocolate and raspberry. Second: THIS PIE IS SO EASY IT'S INSANE! Oh hey, can you use a microwave and do you have a refrigerator? Yes? Fab. You can make this pie.

Now, I mean...I can never really make anything too easy for myself. So I made my own crust (although honestly, that's pretty simple too....although I did make my own cookies to make my own crust....#ihaveaproblem). But you can totes just buy one. No judging here. This is a safe space. But yeah, anyway, throw some stuff in a microwave, stir it, pour it in your crust, refrigerate, and you have yourself an amazing pie!

A pie that, I might add, prompted my friend Molly to call me a "goddess". So yeah. It's impressive.

And OF COURSE the birthday boy loooved it! He told me so, repeatedly. The ganache gives you the most amazing, silky, texture and then there's a beautiful raspberry glaze on top to give an extra punch of fruity flavor. And there's nothing more delicious (ok that's prob. a big statement but....it's up there) than a cookie crust!

You're gonna love this one.

Over EASY Eggs

Over EASY eggs...get it? Because...they're over easy eggs but they're EASY over easy eggs...get it...yeah?

Ok. Good. I thought it was funny. Maybe just me. Whatevs.

Fun story: before I could cook, I could make eggs. That I was able to do. And I learned to make over easy eggs by watching my mom and dad. You see, every Saturday morning was pancakes, and every Sunday morning was over easy eggs or "dippy eggs" as they were called in my household (because we dipped toast in the yolks...get it?) I've heard of people flipping eggs to make them over easy or whatever, but that's risky. I was taught this method because it is easy, virtually foolproof, and awesome.

Now, I can't eat eggs anymore (used to love em, now they make me sick. I have no clue what is wrong with me) but Michael isn't crazy like me, so I can still flex my egg-making skills for him. And now you'll be able to say you can make eggs as well as a 10 year old Kayle. Oh yeah.

Something Saturdays (10/26/13)

Other Supernatural fans: ever wonder about Adam? He was a d-bag so I don't even care. Humph.

Speaking of Supernatural...OMG (Michael saw this as a solicitation to sell at the comic store/company he works for and I WANT THEM!)

Movies/TV Talk (assume there'll be spoilers)
This is the End-this is that movie starring a bunch of comedic actors playing themselves during the end of the world...and it was pretty hilarious. I especially enjoyed that The Backstreet Boys were singing in heaven....sounds about right :P

Once Upon A Time-Here's what I like about Peter Pan being the pied piper: he's playing a pan flute...get it?? I'm curious to find out more about his and Rumple's history. It completely blows, though, that Neal had Henry and then lost him again...ugh. And THEN he became looost and could hear the music. Gah!

How I Met Your Mother-Yeahhh, I like Robin & Barney's story too. Even more so...I like seeing it with Marshall and Lily pretending to be them...hehehe.

Supernatural-Whoa. Castiel got laid. Craziness. Annndd what the eff is up with Ezekiel?? I'm so just like....unsure of what's going on. And super sad poor Cas is getting kicked out :(

Criminal Minds-aaaand this ep. made me cry. And not even cuz of the Hotch stuff, but because of the criminal father/daughter final scene. I just....I can't.

The Originals-what is up with all the people after Haley? Is it her were-family?? And what's the deal with Cami's brother who like murdered all those seminary students? And how is Elijah up and about...that feels very continuity error-esque....but I like Klaus' paternal side, and I like how nice he is to Cami. So that's all good.

Law & Order:SVU-well this episode was obvious in what it was referencing in the real world. I liked learning more about Barba though, he might be my fave ADA that they've had.

Modern Family-hehee I love the new "Manny!"

Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-I loved learning Will's origin story! And I KNEW his "Anastasia" was the red queen!...well...I mean I knew it during the course of this episode anyway. And, lastly, poor Grendel.

Parenthood-Max has it tough. And awwwww Ryan!

The Vampire Diaries-WHAT IS THAT DOCTOR'S DEAL??! And yay Tyler's back (although it doesn't seem permanent?) and the Bonnie funeral blah blah blah ELENA YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT FOR BREAKING UP WITH STEFAN HE LOVES YOU EVEN WITHOUT HIS MEMORY AGHHHHH! That one almost kiss they had was more exciting than like anything she has with Damon ever. I love ya Damon but not for Elenaaaa.

Reign-I'm still a little unsure, but so far I'm liking the show. I want a happy ending for Mary (and Francis) so badly, though, and it stinks because I know it ends up going.
