Grasshopper pie is kind of an old school southern dessert, the kind made in the 1960s out of prepackages items… I’m to fancy for that.  But not fancy enough to try to find the right liquor – so instead of finding creme de menthe – we went with peppermint schnapps.  Slight problem (possibly a problem?
