Ingredients

1 each pie shell (9 inch) baked
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 each egg separated
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter
Meringue
3 each egg white
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 cup sugar

Directions

Combine dry ingredients in a medium saucepan and stir to mix thoroughly before you add liquids.

Now add egg yolks (save the whites for the meringue) and milk and whisk until there are absolutely no lumps.

Place directly over medium-low heat, stir CONSTANTLY until the pudding thickens and comes to a plopping boil.

Watch it like a hawk and DON'T TURN UP THE FIRE; at this stage it'll stick and burn at the least provocation! Patience is essential here.

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and butter.

Pour into baked pie shell. Top with meringue.

Bake at 325 degrees F. until the meringue browns, 15 to 20 minutes.

In the Nick of Thyme

Last night I was sharing a bottle of Tuscan wine with my date as I pondered what to write for this week's edition of my column. I was only a few days away from my deadline and deep in the throes of writer's block. "Why not something on...

I cut back a little on the Cayenne (others may want to double up). I also added 2 large garlic cloves, chopped fine. I used medium-sized frozen shrimp (yeah, I know, lol) but took the tails off and cut them in half for more bites to the spoonful! WOW!! 5 stars!
