Don't use bottled lime juice though - I do have my standards. And sometimes I need key lime pie more often than my grocery store has key limes. The key limes have a sweet, less sour taste to them, so it's really a personal preference. If you can't find key limes in the grocery store - NO PROBLEM. This recipe is tried and true and I'm sticking with it because it's the perfect amount of everything for me, so I'm not going to mess with a good thing. I experiment with a lot of different versions of desserts but not key lime pie. In the meantime, I made one my husband's favorite desserts. I created my own version and threw in some other fruit we had. John had a cherry pie, which was unbelievable, too. When it's fresh.man, it's perfection! I need to add that to my baking queue and see if I can make my own version until we can get back over to the beach soon. I had a piece of Smith Island double chocolate cake and OMG.I had forgotten how much I missed their cake. John and I did get some alone time on Saturday night to grab dessert together at Liquid Assets while the grandparents were nice enough to watch the kiddos. Maybe next summer they'll be able to walk in the sand and/or be able to walk in flip flops (are flip flops hard for everyone else's toddlers, too? C shuffles in them). Now you're packing a huge, heavy bag full of diapers, wipes, cold water, snacks, toys, towels, sunscreen and then carrying two sweaty toddlers on your sweaty thighs through sand that's burning your feet. One thing I really took for granted was how easy it is to go to the beach before kids. He spent most of the time playing chase with the current, collecting seashells, and playing in the sand. The thrill of being two! C was much more adventurous this year, too. She spent the remaining time moving water from one bucket to another. She actually ventured out to the water's edge to dip her toes in the ocean when she saw C do it, too, but was done when the current pushed her down. This year, she was at least receptive to walking in the sand, but only in small doses. She waded in a baby pool the entire time. Any part of her - foot, arm, whatever - was completely unacceptable to be touching. Last time we went to the beach, B refused to touch the sand. I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July! While we didn't do incredibly much yesterday, we did go to the beach this past weekend with John's parents.our first beach trip of the season! The things we do seasonally - like ride the train at our local park, participate in various holiday traditions, and go on trips to the beach - all remind me how quickly time passes. This classic key lime pie is the dessert of summer - zesty, sweet, creamy, and it makes the best dessert to eat on a hot day!
