Our microeconomics professor talked about pies on

Our microeconomics professor talked about pies on Tuesday.
Causing a key lime craving.
Before I knew it, the opportunity cost of ignoring the craving in lieu of other activities became to high.
Knowing my marginal benefit would well exceed the costs, I decided to increase my utility and make the pie.
You bet your bottom dollar it was worth it.
(She types while eating a piece for breakfast....)
Anywhoooooo - this recipe was a total experiment and a little wacky. But it turned out pretty dang fab!
