Okay, so, I made John Scalzi's Schadenfreude Pie recipe. I made a few modifications: the graham cracker crust was a homemade crust involving a cup of graham cracker crumbs, a quarter cup of animal crackers pounded into dust, some butter, and some chocolate chips, for example. Also I replaced the cup of dark corn syrup with a cup of Federal grade B dark maple syrup, because I was at a store that had the maple but not the Karo and the Spirit of the Frozen North is not to be denied, at least not if you're me. And the recipe works great even without the Kahlua, and the pie is fantastic...

... but, um, so totally not something you should eat within two hours of your expected bedtime because you might as well be strapped into the chair in Marathon Man for all the ability you will have to close your eyes and keep them closed once the pie hits your bloodstream. Great googa mooga.

All that sweet...seems like it would need some whipped cream, too.

I wonder how pecan pie would be with maple syrup instead of Karo.

I didn't have whipped cream on hand, but I had mint chocolate chip ice cream, and that works rather nicely.

Heh. Mr. Scalzi is a wise man.

Hell of a writer too.
