A Key Lime Pie I Made to Use Up Old Ingredients During the Period/Thesis Desert Crisis of 2011

Three ingredient filling, baby. Chocolate cookie crumb crust, condensed milk, cream and lime juice whipped filling, and baby chocolate chips and lime zest on top. Easy as... well. Baking, when it doesn't go terribly terribly wrong, makes me feel competent.

Okay so maybe this is childish, but I'm slightly upset no one in my family has said congrats on finishing my MA. They knew when I was handing my thesis in--I don't want a big deal, just an email? call? fb post? anything? Just some light recognition of the grad degree being done? It's not like they said 'congrats on finishing the thesis' earlier/we've already covered that ground.

I still have to get a grade back on the Diss, as a technical matter (though my advisor approved it, and MA theses aren't defended so much as graded like another essay, so even if I somehow fail, I'll be taking that up with the department), and the graduation ceremony's not till Jan, but all the classes and papers are done-done--all save the last grades and the ceremony. There's no way I could *not* be done now other than act of god/if fucking cultural studies tries to SCREW me and I have to argue with them about it for a month? Even then, probably still graduating. Maybe it's just that it's a difficult call as to When Are You Done, in this sitch.
