In my new tiny grad school kitchen during my final week of my 3 week vacation, I have attempted to make a pie.
Here is the recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/hazelnut-and-chocolate-pie-with-vanilla-whipped-cream-recipe/index.html
Due to my sheer laziness and the snow, I went to the closest grocery store where there were no hazelnuts so I chose almonds...we will see how that goes
I also do not have a food processor so I mashed the almonds with a hammer in a bag. It was quite a scene.
I made the crust and kneaded it together a few times, just letting it be. I usually over work the crust and it comes out tough like bread instead of happy and fluffy like pie crust should
I am happy to report it came out gorgeous!
Sadly, the mixture for the inside of the pie looked kinda like chocolate vomit. How can such good ingredients, sugar, butter, eggs and chocolate look so nasty?
After crossing my fingers and pouring this mess into my amazingly fantastic crust, I popped it in the oven
still looking like vomit.
The end result?
