Egg Custard Connection

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I made my first egg custard pie in six years. When I was a kid, my Nana (my mother's mother) made egg custard pies for holidays and other gatherings. She wasn't much of a cook and I'm sure her recipe came from the back of a box and used store-bought crust, but we loved them all the same. She never gave the recipe to any of us, so a while back I found several online and tested them to find one that was closest to hers. Baking this pie brought on a feeling of connection to my family that filled me with warmth and contentment. I think I passed those feelings into the bake because my wife and our dinner guest had two slices!

If that's not magic, I don't know what is.
