    Chocolate peppermint cream pie:

    1 Graham Cracker Crust - cooled

    Filling:
    1 package dark chocolate pudding prepared as directed

    Topping:
    3 1/2 cups chilled whipping cream
    3/4 cup powdered sugar
    1 3/4 teaspoons peppermint extract
    1 teaspoon pink sugar

    1 cup whipped cream (for garnish)

    chopped Andes peppermint candies and pink sugar

    Prepare pudding and cool. Fill pie crust until chocolate layer is about an inch deep. Put any remaining pudding in bowl for a snack later.

    Whip whipping cream, powdered sugar, the pink sugar and peppermint extract until stiff peaks form.

    If you like, whip remaining whipped cream and pipe onto edge of pie. Sprinkle with 3 or 4 chipped Andes candies and additional pink sugar. Chill and serve.

    So, I've lost ten pounds on the low carb diet. So, I think looking at that picture gained 4 back. Now I need to make it, and gain the other six...

    I can hear my mother now. "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips!"

    On the other hand, I also learned from a malamute, the look when caught with the last of the (now-empty) bacon wrapper. "I'm going to die, and it was SO WORTH IT!"

    Dropped 20lbs of BayAryan Bloat, and now I do fit my skinny-jeans.
    My problem with going through certain food-deprivation AND over-indulgence when young is that I'm not attracted to pies, cakes, ice-cream, candy etc. anymore - sad I guess maybe...
