A belated acknowledgement.

Grasping my courage firmly in both hands I finally got around to investigating things in the world of blogging, and realized that I have received 4 comments which, in turn, need an acknowledgement.

To my wonderful D-I-L, M-F, many thanks for sending your friends over to view my amateurish attempts at blogging. To Connie and Iouanne, your welcome to the world of blogging is very much appreciated; and to Helen, many, many thanks for the advice that one CAN go back and fix up glitches and grammar even long after the entries have been posted. Seems that everyday I play around with the computer I learn something new, so imagine a great big smiley face here! Maybe in time I'll find out that they are hidden away somewhere. Anyway, here's hoping as I trundle along on my merry way.

In the meantime, I must share with you one of my most recent discoveries. Impossible Pie. No doubt this is a bit of carrying coals to Newcastle as far as some folk in America who may read this is concerned, but to me -- as a shortcut when I want a pie and (a) haven't homemade pastry on hand, or more likely (b), too pushed for time to make some this really fills the bill.

IMPOSSIBLE PIE

2 cups milk
1 cup desiccated coconut
1 cup caster sugar
4 oz butter, melted
4 eggs lightly beaten
1/2 cup plain flour, sifted
2 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Icing sugar for dusting and whipped cream, to serve.

Preheat oven to moderate. Lightly grease a round pie plate (around 9-10").

In a large bowl using a wooden spoon, mix all ingredients together. Pour mixture into prepared pie plate and bake for 55-60 minutes until set.

As they say, easy peasy.

The last time I made this I cut the vanilla down to 1/2 teaspoon and used 1 1/2 teaspoons of microplaned lemon zest. But then I'm sucker for citrus.

Anyway, if you haven't tried it, give it a whirl.
