Sloppy Valentine's Day

Two Valentine's Days in a row, Jeff and I have been apart. I don't really care, only because I feel as though we can celebrate our love any day of the year. It doesn't have to be a special holiday. Anyways, since Jeff was coming home tonight, I wanted to have something nice prepared for him. 

I knew I could make him a delicious calzone. It is one thing that I am decent at making. On top of that, I decided, since Valentine's day is somewhat of a holiday for treats, that I would make Jeff a dessert too. In the past, I have made chocolate pie a few times. I buy those ready-made pie crusts and then instant chocolate pudding. So simple, yet a big payoff as a dessert. 

The problem is that this time, I happened to buy the wrong type of ingredients. Unbeknownst to me, I bought un-instant pudding. This means I had to do more than add milk and stir. I had to boil it up, basically cook it. The making of the pudding required a little more muscle than I had intended, but well worth it for Jeff's Valentine treat. 

Once I was finished getting the pudding ready, I added it neatly to the pie crust. It looked delicious! I placed it in the refrigerator to cool and wait for Jeff. 

After Jeff ate his calzone, which he said was very good, he was ready for his piece of pie. As he cut into the crust and attempted to transfer it to the plate I was holding for him, the pie piece crumbled to bits. It became nothing but a big lump of chocolate with crusty crumbs throughout. 

Why did this happen to my master piece pie, you ask? Because, again, unbeknownst to me, the pie crust was not pre-made. It needed to be baked. Unfortunately, I did not bake it. As a result, it simply crumbled. Happy Valentine's day to Jeff!
