"Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish...." Matthew26:2

I definitely haven't made this up, the pie is really called "Impossible pie". It became popular in the 70s and is believed to have originated from the Amish. This is a very intriguing pie; it separates into 3 layers. The flour sinks to the bottom to create a tart-like dough, the sugar, egg and milk create a creamy custard center and the coconut rises to the top to make a nice crunchy crust. Speaking of impossibilities, its almost impossible for you to not have either been affected or infected by the third wave of the pandemic. With life being viewed from a more precious lense than before, let's enjoy this delicious Impossible Pie with our loved ones but also ensure to prepare for the possible and certain eternity of your soul.
