In about 20 minutes, I’ll have a fresh-from-the-oven, low-carb buttermilk pie ready to eat! Yum! I just got in the mood for some buttermilk pie earlier and decided to make one, while I had a relatively free evening. (No evening is totally free from laundry, homework and whatnot, but it’s all relative.)

While I was waiting for the pie to finish, I enjoyed a glass of cabernet split 1:1 with diet tonic water. If you’ve never tried it, it might sound odd, but it’s really good. It turns an ordinary glass of wine into a spritzer. I like red wine, and I like to try new brands that are on sale. Sometimes I discover a new favorite; other times, it’s too tart/bitter for my preference, but I don’t want to waste it. Cutting it with diet tonic water transforms it into something completely new and very yummy! Red wine is normally low-carb, and the diet tonic water has zero calories/carbs, so it’s a nice treat.

I’d better go check the oven timer … catch ya later!
