First, a very warm welcome to my new subscribers! Thanks so much for reading. Please feel free to comment. It's much easier than you think.
Look at the bottom of each post. In tiny letters (thank you Blogger, where I guess the median age to be about 25) it says "Comments", perhaps with a number in front of it.
Click on "Comments" and a box will pop-up where you can write me a love note. Or a question.
Or anything that you feel I would like to hear - as long as it's not rude.
Check "Anonymous" if you'd like to be. Or put in your name, or some cool pseudonym, where it says "Name/Url". The url is optional. That means you don't have to have your own blog or website, but of you do, here's where I can find out about it.
But if you really want the whole Mignardise experience (and who wouldn't), click on the post title and you will be immediately transported to the beautiful Mignardise site. There you'll be able to read the post in a larger font and peruse my fascinating sidebar. Plus the photos look better.
Speaking of easy, it doesn't get any easier than this pie. It's embarassingly simple.
Yet so tasty and refreshing. I've made it twice already. It's from one of my favorite food blogs, StickyGooeyCreamyChewy. The author, Susan, writes a nice little piece about how we shouldn't be afraid to make such humble food from ingredients that aren't organic, artisanal, local or otherwise special. Plus her photos are way more spectacular than mine.
Frozen Lemonade Pie
from StickyGooeyCreamyChewy
1 large store-bought graham cracker pie crust
1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk, chilled
1 12 oz. container Cool Whip, thawed
1 6 fluid oz. can frozen lemonade concentrate (keep frozen)
In a medium bowl, place Cool Whip and condensed milk. Fold gently together.
Add frozen lemonade concentrate and continue to fold gently. Do not let mixture become soupy.
Pour mixture into pie crust and allow to freeze for several hours or overnight.
It's that easy.
yum-yum...i will be trying this next weekend. i think even i can do it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out, Karen! I'm so glad you liked the pie. It looks fab! :)
ReplyDeleteKaren, I love your comments on life mixed with you comments on food. We love your recipies as do our guests. Keep up the good work with your unique voice and style.
ReplyDeleteTony and David, great job on the comments! Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteTony, I'm SURE you can do this.
David, I love knowing you're reading along.
Susan, you always inspire me. Thanks.
I learned how to make this pie (except with limeade) in my junior high Spanish class of all places. LOVE it and this is making me wish I had an entire pie all to myself. YUM.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is beautiful! Are you up in Maine like me? And don't worry, I just saw Julie&Julia last week, so maybe *I* am the last food blogger in America to see it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations of your blog-iversary! I look forward to reading your blog every week. I rarely post a comment, I know, but I'm an avid follower and admirer. Keep the recipes and stories coming Karen,please!!

Karen...just me, one of your biggest fans. My favorite blog over this past year to read was definitely Lara's birthday blog. The tarot card readings was such a cool idea and it gives some real insight into how cool YOU are. It takes a lot to keep up with 18 year olds these days and with that hip idea you were one step ahead of them. Kudos & thanks for all the support you give to me at the restaurant! Angie
