Patrick's EZ-PZ Lemon Pie

What a day!  Sleet, snow, freezing rain, cold, windy...reminds me of when Jeanette and I lived in Northern Illinois!  Knowing that this storm was blowing our way, Jeanette and I went shopping yesterday for emergency rations that would survive if we lost power.  Along with canned soups, hot dogs and other grill-able delights, I decided that we needed a cold lemon pie that could be set on our screen porch if the refrigerator went out and it is the easiest recipe you've ever seen.  Give it a try!


You need:

2-14 oz cans sweetened condensed milk (Eagle Brand or whatever Wal-Mart has)
3/4 cup lemon juice...about 3 fresh lemons.  Don't forget to zest them and freeze the zest for future recipes!
1 Graham cracker pie crust (or you can use that other plain, tasteless pie crust if you wish...just sayin').
A pinch of the lemon zest

Pour the milk in a medium mixing bowl.  Pour in the lemon juice.  Add a pinch of zest!  Stir till mixed well.  Pour it all into the Graham Cracker crust and refrigerate a couple hours.

Sit in front of the picture window with a hot cup of coffee and your EZ-PZ Lemon Pie and watch the snow come down!
