Okay, this is two key lime pies I've made now. If I'm going to make any more, I need to buy a citrus zester. Yes, it's one more thing to clutter up the drawer and no, it doesn't have that many other applications, but the Microplane grater that I used for the limes? Does not make my knuckles happy.

I know. It's minor and stupid and such a first world problem that it's not even worth complaining about, given everything going on in the Middle East and Japan and the Pacific Islands and the rest of the world. I know. But sometimes... sometimes, I just kvetch.

(And for what it's worth it was a really good pie.)

Put your microplane flat on a countertop or cutting board with the handle off the edge; hold it in place and move the lemon/lime along it.

Get one of these. I am in love with mine.

Man these guys have come a long way since all they did was rasps and other woodworking tools.

I wish I could find the recipe I have somewhere for avocado-lime pie. I normally hate avocados, but this pie -- which was sort of key-lime-esque -- was utterly delicious.
