Since we have been married I have been on a quest, of sorts, to bake Mr. X the perfect apple pie. The pies I have made have always been "good", "wonderful", or "delicious", but never perfect. You see, he prefers more filling than apple. He's quite fond of McDonald's' apple to filling ratio in their "pies", but is not a big fan of their taste.
Tonight, after 7 years, and countless pies, I finally did it, I made his "perfect" apple pie. A large scale McDonald's like version, with more flavor and a crumble top. There is only one problem, I have a very bad habit when it comes to creating recipes...
"Would you like some pie?"
"Oh is it done already? YES PLEASE!"
I serve him a slice and wait, excitedly, for him to take a bite.
"OH MY GOSH, HONEY! THIS PIE IS PERFECT"
Yes! I did it, my 7 year quest has come to a victorious end!
"Seriously, babe, you should enter this in a contest or something. How did you make this? What did you put in it?
"Uhhhh.."
"You did it again, didn't you? You FORGOT to write down the recipe."
Oh well, at least I know I'm capable of producing the perfect pie. Just like I am capable of producing the perfect enchiladas, chili, bread, cookies, chocolate cake, yellow cake...the list goes on. Now if I could just remember to write it down!
I AM getting better, since I started blogging and sharing various recipes, from time to time I do make a point to write down what I'm doing. Unfortunately my apple pie was not destined for my blog, which means...I didn't write it down.
On a happy note, Mr. X said he loved my pie so much, he is going to eat it for breakfast....and that is not a compliment I take lightly. :)
But then again, who wouldn't want pie for breakfast? Except, maybe...this boy:
