Last night was a "Lennie's recipe dinner party", this is the third recipe of yours I used last night. This turned out really well-soooooo rich-only need small pieces to be satisfied. Next time will use a larger pie pan, I couldn't get all the corn syrup mixture into the 9 inch crust. Could be due to the size of my eggs, they were quite large, in fact, very large. Oh well, it was terrific anyway! Thank you again Lenny!!!
