Happy B-day Tracy!

Tonight was Tracy's b-day party! Pete made a delicious Multi-Vegetable Couscous from 150 Vegan Favourites by Jay Solomon. It was yummy! I wish I had used the flash, but I just wanted to take the pic and sit down to eat!!!

We had the pie for dessert! I know the readers of this blog have been on the edge of their seats since Monday, waiting in anticipation to see how the pie would actually look once it emerged from the pie plate:

Next time, I think I will bake my crust instead of putting it in the fridge to firm up.

The pie was SOOO good...as Tracy said, it tasted like silk. I especially liked the consistency of the ganache. I'm a little annoyed with myself for leaving the last piece with the b-day girl ;)

This is a pic of me serving the pie. No, I'm not shielding my face from the camera, but rather trying to control my sneezing due to allergies to Tracy's and Pete's furkids :( I didn't realize that Tracy took this pic, but I thought it was funny. I hate serving up dessert from pie plates (I always seem to destroy the presentation value), so hopefully a little phlegm will persuade someone else to take hold of the slice n' serve next time...hee hee...
