Key Lime Pie I
This pie was really really good. I made it as my husbands birthday cake and thankfully I made 2 (doubled the recipe) because he ate a whole one himself in just over a day. And he is not a big eater usually. Key lime is his favorite and he REALLY really liked this pie. I liked the fact that it was baked just a little. I know the eggs supposedly cook in citric acid but I still feel better cooking even if it is only for 15 minutes. The pie set beautifully and looks beautiful. I added 1 drop of green food coloring just to push the color from yellow to green. I also added the zest of one lime and I could not find my cream of tartar so I omitted it.

Pudding or Pie Filling
This was good. The recipe worked out and it did make a pudding and was not hard to make at all. On the down side, when using it as a pie filling with a graham cracker crust, it seeps more liquid than I would like a pie to. It sets up fine but then liquid seeps from it. I made it with cocoa powder for a chocolate pudding pie and I topped it with whipped cream. I made it for my son because he hates Key Lime and I made Key Lime for my husband, and my son did not care for it at all. He might just be more used to the instant puddings. It is really important with this pudding to really get all the white away from the yolks, my yolks were not too eager to fully separate, despite my use of an egg separator, so I had little bits of curdled egg white in it, not a lot but it freaked my son out. I did not have a problem with burning. I use quality thick bottom pots and have an electric stove and heated it on medium heat and stirring with a wire whisk.

Naan
It tastes ok but the texture of mine was terrible. Really hard. The writer must live in a much different climate than I live in. The dough was much much too dry I had to add almost half a cup of water ti get the dough into a kneadable ball. I will keep looking for a naan recipe, this was not it for my dry geographical area.
