With a lot (and I mean a lot) of time on my hands, I am dabbling my hands in a bit of everything, including cooking. As I was sitting on the dinner table today, I suddenly felt enlightened, much like Buddha did under the Bodhi tree. The heavens proclaimed that I head to the kitchen, and create a masterpiece that the Gods wish me to create. Now, who am I to dispute the Gods? The item that I created in my creative frenzy turned out to be....well not too bad actually. So here is the crazily simple, yet decently tasty recipe

Quick Almond Pie

Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Serves: 2 people

Ingredients

• 8 Marie Biscuits
• 4 tsp Sugar
• 15 Almonds
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 4 tsp Milk (Replace with water/soy milk, if vegan)

1. Put the biscuits and the sugar in a mixer jar, and grind them to a fine powder
2. Melt the butter and mix it together with the powder. Knead it lightly to get uniform consistency 
3. Break the almonds into small, but not too small pieces, and mix into the mixture
4. Take a 4-inch microwavable plate, and press it at the bottom, spreading evenly
5. Sprinkle the milk on the top evenly
6. Microwave for 1.5 minutes
7. Remove and cut into triangular pieces
8. Serve hot, with vanilla ice cream

You can probably replace almonds with walnuts or pistachios, to get the recipe for the corresponding pie
