    Which frustrated them completely, as all they wanted was to have some beers and wings, and watch the Ducks.

    For my family Christmas gathering I made a chocolate cream/peanut butter cream pie. I sort of stumbled on it, as I did not originally intend to do what I did, but everyone liked it. So here's how to make one yourself.
     
    You'll need a large box of chocolate pudding/pie-filling mix (you can substitute any other flavor if you want to be bold), 2.5 cups of milk, a cup of whipping cream, a 10 oz. bag of peanut butter chips, and a graham cracker pie crust (get the large one, or make it from crumbs yourself if you know how).
     
    Head the whipping cream in the microwave until it is very hot. Put the peanut butter chips in a bowl, add the cream, and stir. The hot cream will melt the chips and stirring it properly will add body to the concoction. Pour it into the pie crust and stick it into the fridge for a couple of hours to set.
     
    After that, make the pie filling as per the directions. Pour it on top of the peanut butter layer and put it back in the fridge to set. I let it sit in the fridge two days. The result is a sweet, creamy, cool pie with two distinct layers. You can top it with whipped cream if you choose, or eat it as is.
     
    I imagine you could make it even richer by getting a bag of chocolate chips and repeating what you did with the peanut butter (with more whipping cream), but you'd need to use the right kind of chips to keep the chocolate layer from being bitter (or add sugar).

    Please send me students who truly understand the value of reproducible results.
     
    I've been ever so good this year and haven't detonated a single one of them. Well, there was that one little accident, but that can't be held against me.

    I was actually in that position once, the day after a concert by a Celtic-Rock band called tempest at a local club. I had almost precisely that exchange at the start of the housefilk the next day.

    Scott Joplin would not have been able to get away with it -- he took enough heat just for being a black musician -- but I think he would approve. He knew music and had classical aspirations. He even wrote an opera.
