Nothing Better then Home Made Key Lime Pie Have Some

Well hello to all you foodies out there in Web land its MadJon again and I hope you try some of this wonderful Key Lime pie that can be made right in your own home and its easy as pie!  Before we start with the recipe I hope you all have most of your Christmas shopping finished.  I have all of it but for writing one check to our daughter and I saw so much I could have bought for her today but she would rather buy for herself.  I don't blame her because from the time she was a little girl she and I never picked out the same thing.  She had her own mind then and she has it even more now.  Do you have any kids like that?  Of coarse you do because if you say you don't I don't think I'd believe you much.  Our daughter has wonderful taste in style and everything but she seems to have a problem in just one area but I guess I won't talk about that unless we are on Dr. Phil and I get money to tell it all baby. She has no problem airing everything I do to the world on that thing called Face book.  She tells you I snore and sleep naked, etc. etc., etc.  That's enough detail.  Besides that what woman doesn't sleep that way when she is my age.  Hot Hot Hot.  That's all I can say on that subject.  Any who kids, they step on your feet when they are little and step on your hearts when they are grown.  They can be real heart breakers and pains in the rear.  However that said I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world and am the only one that can say anything about her and get away with it.  I love her so and would do anything for her, as most parents would.  OK let's get off that and start talking about Key Lime pie.  My mother-in-law gave me this recipe and I changed it a little, not much and she has won Blue Ribbons with her Key Lime Pies. So let's give it a swirl.
