Our movie of choice this year was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0365737\/\" target=\"_blank\">Syriana<\/a>, a political-esqe movie about government and the oil companies. It was much too confusing and drawn out and the story was really hanging by a thread. In the end, I couldn&#8217;t really tell you what happened except that the a) the government is bad b) oil companies are bad and c) people are bad.

The tarts have a bit more sugar than the pie and it was all made with Splenda. It was pretty tasty. The only thing that was a little off was that the bottom of the crusts didn&#8217;t really get totally cooked through (but cooked through enough &#8211; I would have liked them to have been more brown on the bottom).
