I always think of Lisa when I make this pie. The first time I made this I was so excited to try it because I thought it would be interesting with cheese in it. I was so excited and proud that I had made it. I am not very good at making crust etc. Before we had a chance to taste it it got knocked off the counter and fell on the floor. It was ruined! I had told Lisa about it and the next day she made me one and brought it too me. Sisters are the best!
