Gamma's Birthday

Hooray for Gamma! It's her birthday and we get to celebrate it with her. Happy Birthday! A family tradition in our house is chocolate pie. And I'm not talking about pudding in a pre-made crust either. It's my great grandmother's recipe of thick, rich chocolate in flaky homeade crust and topped with light and fluffy meringue. Tessa has developed a serious interest in cooking and she helped me make this special dessert for her Gamma. Having Tessa in the kitchen slows me down and makes a huge mess - just imagine cracking 6 eggs with a 3yr old. But the quality time is priceless and our end result was deeeelish. Gamma is so sweet, even on her birthday the present is for Tessa. We now have Rapunzel and friends plus a magical tower. Thank you and happy birthday!
