8 oz can sweetened condensed milk
8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
1/3 c lemon juice, about 2 1/2 lemons
1 tsp lemon zest
9" graham cracker pie crust, unbaked
Blend milk and cream cheese together until smooth. Add lemon juice and blend until thickened. Pour into crust and refridgerate for at least one hour. Serve with cool whip.
- To make pie lime instead of lemon, substitute lime juice and lime zest. Delicious either way.

We hear a great deal on televion from a 'financial guy' Jim Cramer, and from those who call his program, about booya. The word is used a 'code' word by his loyal, enthusiatic listeners. I'll bet 90% of the callers and, maybe Jim, don't know what booya is. I'll bet 90% of the Independent Readers do.

Fluffy pancakes are great with fresh fruit or pure maple syrup. If you are a “chocoholic,” try adding 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter. For a tropical taste, add chopped macadamia nuts and shredded coconut to the batter, and serve these cakes with sliced bananas warmed in maple syrup.
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
1 cup soy milk
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
