Was talked into eating the tiniest piece of sugar pie today.* I haven't had any in years. Probably not the wisest decision for a diabetic, but what the hell, sometimes it's about quality of life over quantity.**
* The slice was so thin it literally curled up when I tried to plate it.
** I know this is a terrible justification. Don't @ me.

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • •Fun side story:
My family's sugar pie recipe is a closely guarded secret, kept by a closely guarded sect of closely guarded monks. My aunts refused to disclose it to my mother because she wasn't a blood relative, but my father loves the stuff.
She spent years reverse engineering the recipe. Throughout these attempts, we were subjected to several sugar hockey pucks and sugar soups. Finally, she was able to not only duplicate, but improve upon the recipe.
She now refuses to share it with them.

It's really, stupidly delicious. This is why my resolve cracked.
