After much deliberation, I have chosen to give in to naming this recipe “Love at First Pie”. One day I was walking by with this golden pie in hand and noticed someone was following me. I turned around. He was sort of cute and he asked, “What do you have there?” Perplexed by this moment I simply answered, “Eggnog custard pie”. With hearts in our eyes, it would become
the start a lopsided romance from that moment on. I would love the guy and he would love the pie. Obviously, this could only end with egg on my face. No, it ends with an appropriately named pie. If
Food Network’s Gina Neely can name her fried chicken” Get Yo Man” then why not? Ladies, I am not promising that you will win the heart of a man but you will win the stomachs over of your guests. The eggnog custard will truly be “Love at First Pie”. –
