Keylime Pies

Tahitian lime pies


I need to sit down and enjoy my moment with this single serve Keylime Pies...

...and here I thought that my life, post morning school-run, will be hunky dory!
I was wrong...

I have been busy with my own 'thing'... doctors appointments, X-rays, Ultra-sounds and MRI.
...  next is to see a specialist about the knee injury I had been having since July, as well as for him to look at the small lump above my right ankle, the doctors were clueless and curious to find out what it is :(. 

Nervous?... yes I am :( Hoping and crossing fingers, toes and whatever I can cross ... that its nothing but a small fat deposits accumulating and growing at a very slow rate.

I could do with 2 of these keylime pies to calm my nerves.....

Health issues aside...

Limes is a 'commodity' here.  Price of a kilo of limes very rarely drop, par with lemons. 

To me.. limes are so refreshing, fragrant and deliciously put me in a relax mood. 

I am waiting patiently for my pot of Tahitian lime to give me abundance of fruits, but that is not happening at the moment for I can only see a '1 teeny weeny' fruit... :(
well hope for better harvest next year, for now I have to close my eyes, grit my teeth and pay top dollar, if I wanted to indulge in keylime pies  :(
