"What's Happening in and around Castle Hills"

May is a busy month for Castle Hills especially around the village shops. Below are some of the months activities.

MEMORIAL DAY

Remembering those that paid the ultimate price

Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official Federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season.

My Recipe

KEY LIME PIE

 BRHODA BOONE

Ingredients:

  • 1 (9") pie Plate

For the crust:

  • 11 (2¼x4¾") graham crackers
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1½ tsp. ground cinnamon
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

  • 1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 7 Tbsp. fresh Key lime juice
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

For the topping:

  • 1 cup chilled heavy cream
  • 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar

 Directions:

Make the crust:


Step 1: Place rack in the center of oven and preheat to 350°F.


Step 2: Pulse graham crackers, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a
food processor until fine crumbs form. With the motor running, drizzle in melted butter and process until well-combined. Transfer mixture to pie pan and press into bottom and up sides with a flat-bottomed measuring cup.


Step 3: Bake pie crust until golden brown and set, 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.

Make the filling and bake pie:


Step 4: Whisk condensed milk and yolks together in a large bowl. Add Key lime and lemon juices and whisk until well-combined (mixture will thicken slightly).

Step 5: Pour filling into crust and bake until center is just set, about 15 minutes. Transfer pie to a wire rack and let cool completely (filling will set as it cools), about 1 hour. Transfer to refrigerator and chill until cold, at least 1 hour.


Do Ahead: Pie (without topping) can be made, loosely covered, and chilled for up to 2 days.

Make the topping:


Step 6: When ready to serve, whip cream with a whisk or electric mixer to very soft peaks. Sprinkle sugar over cream and continue whipping until it holds stiff peaks. Dollop cream in center of pie (leaving at least a 1" border of visible pie filling) and serve.

RIDDLE ME THIS

Throw away the outside and cook the inside, then eat the outside and throw away the inside. What is it?

Last Month's Riddle

Four cars come to a four-way stop, each coming from a different direction. They can’t decide who got there first, so they all go forward at the same time. All 4 cars go, but none crash into each other. How is this possible?

A: They all made right-hand turns.


May Garden Tips

Maintenance is the Key

Start tomato, eggplant, pepper seeds for fall vegetable transplants. Shop local garden centers for pumpkin and winter squash seeds that can be directly planted in mid-June.
