DON'T THROW IT OUT! There should still be some minerals left in it that would be beneficial to the soil when used. Just recompost it. Add all of it to a new batch of organic material that you are going to compost normally and it will take care of itself. There is stuff in it that has broke down so much that it will be easy for plants and microbes to use. Or mix it into the soil as it is and let it sit for a season and then treat it normally.

Below is a recipe from Mangrove Mama's, a local (Fl Keys) restaurant. This is the real deal; what you think of--or should think of--when you think key lime pie. For some reason this recipe calls for 5 egg yolks, although the original from the restaurant only requires 4. Also, this version doesn't specify as does the original to add ingredients in the exact order listed. Anyway, it's the dessert I make and take to any gathering to which I want to bring something special. The real thing, no chocolate allowed period. I'm gonna go all southern here and add, bless her heart, someone must have been into the rum supply if she thought THAT was a good ingredient for our sacred pie ;). Not that it may not taste good but it's messin' with perfection if you ask me. Here is a link that might be useful: Key Lime Pie

In NYC, there's Peanut Butter & Co. Yup, they have the "Elvis" (with or without bacon). And Fluffernutters. And the "Pregnant Lady" (PB & pickles). I'd try this: A Black & Tan -- PB with a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Or a Peanut Butter Cup: PB with Nutella. Or some of the "gourmet" sandwiches: A Cinnamon Raisin Swirl: Cinnamon raisin PB and vanilla cream cheese, stuffed with crisp apple slices. Dark Chocolate Dreams sandwich: Dark chocolate PB and cherry jam, stuffed with shredded coconut. (the menu says it's PB&J meets black forest cake.) And I have to admit I'd like to taste this: The Mighty Maple: Mighty Maple PB (one of a variety of specialty PBs there) with crispy bacon. How do you think "vanilla cream cheese" is made? Just add vanilla extract to plain cream cheese? The place also serves baloney-and-cheese sandwiches (I still eat those!), tuna sandwiches, grilled cheese, etc. -- all those things that Moms used to make for their kids.

I've made peach dump cake for family get-togethers. It's always well-received, but it's far too sweet for my and my hubby's taste. It's a can of peaches, the cake mix and melted butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Just use the amount of butter recommended in the recipe. There are definitely dry patches of cake mix. You don't want the top to be covered in melted butter. It all works out.
