 JK> I find the cheaper the chicken is at supermarkets, the scarier it is

How true. I'm beginning to think that way about all my meats: in
particular Chinese sewer fish and Mad Cow E-Coli hockey puck
burgers.
 
 JK> The last free-range chicken I bought cost $1.75/lb
 JK> Pork is 1.61 lb
 JK> RIBEYE STEAK (bone in) $14.00/lb
 JK> BEEF SHORT RIBS $ 2.50/lb.

Those are all great prices considering the quality.

     Title: A-Train's Maple Walnut Pie
Categories: Pies
  Servings: 8

      1    single crust pie shell
  1 1/2 c  toasted walnuts
           The filling:
  1 2/3 c  pack light brown sugar
      2 lg eggs, room temp.
    1/2 c  heavy cream
    1/3 c  dark amber
      2 ts melted butter

1 single crust pie shell - roll it out and bake it for 10 minutes
(don't forget to fork the bottom a couple times to prevent puffing)
at 350. Feel smug if you made your crust from scratch. I prefer an
all butter crust, but I recognize the value of Crisco.

1 1/2 cups toasted walnuts. Put them on a baking sheet or in cake
pan and toast at 350 for 10 minutes or so and then dump them into
the pie crust in an even layer.

The filling: This is the part I co-opted from The Gourmet Cookbook 1
2/3 cups pack light brown sugar. If your sugar is lumpy break it up
with a fork first. 2 large eggs at room temperature. If your eggs
are cold put them in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes, 1/2 cup
heavy cream 1/3 cup maple syrup, preferably dark amber, but don't
sweat it. 2 teaspoons melted butter.

Whisk the eggs and brown sugar together in a bowl until smooth and
creamy. Add the cream, maple syrup and butter and continue whisking
until smooth. Pour mixture into your pie crust, over the walnuts.
Put in 350 degree oven for 50-60 minutes. When it's done the pie
will have puffed up a bit and will look dry, but the center will
still jiggle a bit when you shake the pan. Let it cool for at least
20 minutes and you're good to go. You can serve the pie with whipped
cream, creme fraiche or vanilla ice cream, but watch out - this is a
really rich dessert and a little dab'll do you.

Oh, and people, use Vermont maple syrup. Don't make me hunt you
down.
