Kentucky Derby Pie

I love this pie!  It is a family favorite, which we always make on Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I’m immortalizing the recipe here for my own sake; I keep losing the one my mom gave me.  I’m quoting this directly from: http://www.nickers.com/kentucky-derby-pie-recipe.htm

1 Pie crust

Filling:

1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

2 tablespoons Kentucky Bourbon

Beat eggs with cooled butter. Add flour & sugar. Beat until mixed well. Stir in pecans, chocolate & bourbon. Pour mixture into pie shell. Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes, or until set.

Script Everything

One of the neat things I learned at the last No Fluff Just Stuff conference I went to was from one of Neal Ford’s Productive Programmer seminars.   Script everything.  I’ve been using this as my mantra lately.  Why should I do steps a, b, c, d, e, f, and g again, even if I only do the task once a day or even once a week?  I’m still looking for a script to help me remember stuff, like car keys and feeding the cats.
