| Analise with Martha |
LUCY BURDETTE: When John and I went on the seafood tasting tour that served as inspiration for A DEADLY FEAST, the first stop was to visit Chef Martha Hubbard at Isle Cook Key West. Our guide Analise told us we'd be eating dessert first--Martha's sponger key lime pie.

| Oops I ate too fast |
My mind was running amok during the entire two hours of yummy eating and Key West history...Where could I find a body? What's the best murder weapon? Will these dear women consent to becoming characters--suspects perhaps? They did agree, and even better, Martha shared her recipe for pie...
Chef Martha's Sponger Key Lime Pie
½ cup Ol’ Sour (See Below)
½ cup key lime juice
2 14 oz cans sweetened condensed milk
3 egg yolks
1 tsp salt
Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Divide into
small canning jars. Serve with crumbled Cuban crackers on top.
