Puddles on the Pies

What went wrong? We still don't know and we may never know...

On Saturday my in-laws were in town. My MIL is the wonderful sort of MIL. Whatever needs doing, she jumps in and does. And that day, chocolate pies needed to be made, but Miss C was a little out of sorts and would have nobody but mommy. I was about halfway through adding the ingredients when it became clear that Miss C needed me and would wait no longer! MIL took over the making of the chocolate pies.

About an hour later the oven chimed to let us know our pies were done. MIL pulled them out of the oven to allow them to cool. We both looked at each other. Do the pies usually look like that? I don't think so. They look.....different. Hmm.

After being chilled in the refrigerator, we pulled the pies out to serve and discovered grease puddles sitting on top of the pies.

Now, who is the MOTY in this case? We really aren't sure ourselves. Grease puddles on pies? That's not right, but where did we go wrong...we may never know.

The end result? The pies were eaten. Everyone enjoyed even the grease puddles and all are still alive today!
