500+ inches

I have many memories of Easter weekends on a screened-in porch in the south.  There was honey baked ham, deviled eggs, tomato salad and usually a chocolate chess pie that we'd brought home from the church fundraiser.  Of course, made by the hands of my sister and I during volunteer bake time.  I wish I could find that recipe somewhere.  It was so smooth, but also light and rich, almost like a brownie pie.  It gave me a stomach ache every time because I always had to have just one more sliver.  Since moving to the Rocky Mountains 6 years ago, and to Colorado 11 years ago, this is usually what Easter weekend looks like.  Maybe time to reconsider a southern movement.
