Rain Delay

We had almost another inch of rain Fri. night so I've been doing some cooking.  I made shrimp stir fry.  It's really good and a good way to get Bill to eat a bunch of vegetables!  Then in honor of the Kentucky Derby running yesterday, I made Kentucky Derby Pie.  There was a horse from Iowa, Dullahan, that came in 3rd.

 KENTUCKY DERBY PIE

1/2 c. butter, melted
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. chocolate chips 
3/4 c. chopped pecans or walnuts
9" pie crust


Combine all ingredients and bake at 350 for 45 min. or until brown on top.  Good served a little warm with a dollop of Cool Whip.  It's rich so start with a small slice!  Note - those in the South add 2 T. bourbon to the pie.
