Peanut-Chocolate Pielets

An experiment: tiny pies made in a muffin pan. In this case, each has a pie crust, peanuts, a pecan-pie-like peanut-butter & corn-syrup filling, and a healthy dose of dark chocolate.

Not a complete success (as usual, I underbaked, so that the crusts were mushy and the filling gooey)... but successful enough that I'm going to keep trying.

Also, yum.

Chard Pie

A scrumptious savory pie full of chard goodness. Not difficult to make, and utterly delicious. From a Martha Stewart recipe.

Chai Cream Pie

After making home-made chai a couple times... I was in love with the flavors. My lovely wife, fountain of wisdom that she is, said, "Why don't you make a chai pie?"

I found a recipe online, and did.

Plum, Hazelnut & Blue Cheese Pie

This was a good idea in theory: a plum & hazelnut pie, made savory through the addition of blue cheese. But I made some terrible errors in judgment. As a result, I believe we ate a total of four slices, and the second two were pretty reluctant. Not a success.
