Happy Pi Day!

Yesterday I organized my spice drawer.  Exciting, I know.  It does make me happy to know that one more area of my home, however small, is under control.

The before—utter chaos, not to mention dirty.  Quite embarrassing, really.

The after:

I found the containers at Bed Bath & Beyond for 99 cents each, and was able to use a $5 off of $15 coupon.  I also put my trusty label maker to work.  Who knew that so many spices start with the letter “c”? 

Today, I used my nutmeg for Magic Crust Custard Pie, in celebration of Pi Day (3.14—get it?)  This is about the  easiest pie you could ever make.  You put all of the ingredients in a blender and pour the mixture into a pie pan and bake.  The flour settles to the bottom and makes its own crust.

The kids did not like it, but I did.  It is very homey/comforting.  Plus, I am a big custard fan, and I am not good at making pie crusts, so this was perfect.
