Peanut butter ice cream pie for jennifer perillo, in memory of mikey
Pies
Two years ago when Jennifer Perillo's husband died, she asked the many people who expressed a desire to support her to make his favorite peanut butter pie. I decided to make a similar dessert in his memory--one that had the same flavors, but that my family of ice cream lovers would enjoy. Here's what i wrote at the time: <br />Dear Jennie, <br />Like everyone in this community, my heart broke when I read about your terrible tragic loss. I really wanted to make your pie. Really. But life intervened. And yet… there had to be a way. This pie is in the spirit, if not to the letter, of your wonderful pie. I like to make my own ice cream, but I today I used store-bought. I made the pie to welcome home my husband (who adores peanut butter and chocolate) from a week-long business trip. And we’ll share it with our children and grandchildren, who are visiting from Austin this weekend. We promise to hug them like there’s no tomorrow. I wish I could hug you, too, and I hope you feel loved, protected and cared for from this amazing outpouring of grief and support. <br /> <br />
