You know the old saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade," well, I decided to make Lemonade Pie. As I have been packing every day for what seems like forever, I have been sorting through things to keep, sell or give away. I had the sad job of downsizing my cookbook collection. Realistically, I don't use all of them, but it's sure hard to let them go. I am hoping they find a new home and will bring their new owner much joy. Anyway, I digress. I found this recipe for a Lemonade Pie in one of my trusty recipe books that is sort of my "no fail" recipe book when I am looking for something new to make. It seemed easy and sounded good (my top two requirements in a recipe). So, I bought the ingredients for the pie, and then promptly forgot all about them (until AFTER I packed my trusty recipe book). I don't know what I was thinking. Obviously, I wasn't, thinking that is. As I opened my freezer a couple of days ago, looking for something to make for dinner, I noticed the Lemonade and Cool Whip and remembered that I wanted to make that pie. Since I had packed my trusty recipe book, I decided to try a recipe off the internet and got down to it. The recipe was called "No Fail Freezer Lemonade Pie." Guess what! It failed, sort of. The pie tasted good but it never froze. It kind of had the consistency of soft serve ice cream. Not sure what happened....I followed the recipe exactly but I have to admit that I made a blooper this time. Hey! Maybe I can blame it on the freezer. Sounds good to me! Until next time.....if life gives me lemons, maybe I'll stick with plain old lemonade.
