Here we go again, being on the same brain wavelength, PJ. I just made a similar pie yesterday for my husband! Mine doesn't have all the ingredients yours did - just unsweetened chocolate, vanilla, sugar, eggs, and butter. Oh and the crust too (gotta have that!). But the texture looks almost identical to mine! My husband calls mine "brownie pie" but I still just call it chocolate pie. Mine doesn't really ooze after baking but it certainly is gooey! And thanks for the kind words about not all of our baking escapades coming out picture perfect. We can't all be decorating gurus like MaryJane and her amazingly awesome snowflake cake from back in December ;) My best friend and I have a saying for when we're in the kitchen, "The messier and uglier it is, the better it tastes!" I can control the "ooze factor" on this one by just tweaking the baking time a bit, but most people seem to like that soft texture. And I like the name Brownie Pie – it sounds like the confluence of two of my favorite desserts. More power to us bakers of "messy, ugly" products, right? Thanks for your support here! PJH
