B.V.I. and Key Lime Pie

My daughter and I recently took a vacation to the British Virgin Islands. We visited friend on Great Comano Island. After landing at the Beef Island Airport we took a boat to the Comano. The next was a 4-wheel drive ride on a one lane road up to the top of the mountain. It is a rise of 500 ft. per half mile. Zounds- what a ride! This ride was attention getting, even after our airline trip down when flights were delayed because of tornados and flights were missed because of these delays. Not to mention a surprise sleep over in San Juan. The weather was beautiful ranging each day between 75-85 degrees. Snorkling and boating filled our days. Near the end of our visit our host decided to back a key lime pie. Foreshadowing? It was delicious. Shortly after arriving back at the cabin, I decided to bake a key lime pie. It was delicious as well. However, I had to taste it by dipping my finger into a glop of it as I quickly wiped it off my right foot where it fell as the foil pan it was in collapsed as I removed it from the oven. You have heard of a hot-foot? Well, I did a fast dance to cool off my foot. It took alot longer to clean the rug, the stove and the floor. It was a sticky mess! I will try again, and do as my daughter suggested and put it on a cookie sheet. It took me so long to squeeze those key limes. BooHoo. Such is life at the cabin.

Careful. If you eat all that pie you will become huge and have to wear a moo moo around the house, the first step towards ending up wearing a circus tent.
