A Year Of Humility (XXVIII): Humble Pie

 Ingredients:

2 Cups Pride

1 Cup  Ego

3/4 Cup Arrogance (If Arrogance is in short supply, Rage can be substituted)

1/2 Cup Inability To Self Reflect

9-11 ounces Water

1/4 teaspoon Vanilla extract

After completing the baking of Crust of Obliviousness (see pp. 43-44), mix the dry ingredients until they are comingled and not clumping.  If there appears to be not enough Inability To Self Reflect (this can be a seasonal thing), be sure to up the amount of Ego.  After the Pride, Ego, Arrogance, and Inability to Self Reflect are a uniform mixture, add the water and Vanilla extract (Note that some people enjoy alternate flavourings to go with their Humble Pie, but Vanilla is the tradition additive). 

Pour into the crust and bake at 400 F for 30 minutes or until the mixture has achieved a warm golden brown colour.  A knife stuck into the filling should be come out clean.  Remove the pie and allow it cool.

The pie is now ready for serving as a Life lesson.   After serving, refrigerate.  Quite likely it will be served for seconds in short order.
