I Like Pie

Monday, 12. May 2008, 01:42:43

"I like pie" Nick White Feather says in my recent story. "I like lemon
meringue best. But I like all sorts of pie, really."

I guess writing all of that got me to thinking about pie recently. And I
got into an exchange with Richard about the subject. I'm not much of a
guy for sweets, at least not since I was a kid. But when my local grocery
store put Cyrus O'Leary's Pies on sale last weekend, I decided to get one.

I got the lemon meringue. As far as the lemon goes, I've had sweeter in
homemade pies. But this was better than most bakery pies. The meringue
was incredible -- so thick and rich you could literally slice it with the side
of your fork.

Taking a picture of the pie was not nearly as pleasant of an experience
as eating it. My new Sony is good for most situations, but sometimes it
is just a bear to work with. The photo for this post is the best I could
manage. I'm not happy with it -- but I took something like 40 photos of
this piece of dang pie. I'm glad it wasn't some sort of "pie supermodel"
that I had to pay by the hour. Anyway, it looks as if I'm either going
to have to get my old Olympus digital out of mothball, which is a tank
to carry around, or buy a new Nikon D40.

I would be excruciatingly jealous had I not just eaten a quarter of my very own lemon meringue pie, one I picked at my local Aldi tonight, and, if not perhaps as fine as yours (yours triumphs in the meringue arena), it certainly was very delicious indeed.

Yummmmmm.

Ok. Heading to the freezer for ice cream.

Enjoy!

The famous "domino theory" of getting fat -- thus proved.

Richard, I was just thinking that we tried the LM, what next -- cherry?

Or perhaps on to cake. There's this bakery out in the East Valley here that makes this just UNBELIEVABLY delicious Russian Chocolate Layer Cake.

Star, I've been into these type of popsickles lately. They taste like a 7-11 Slurpee. In fact last summer when it was hot I think I was actually addicted to them for a while.

cherry pie - I think that's going to be next, Edward. Then the chocolate cake...

The incredible ballooning Richard!

God will punish you all three!!!

Lemon Pie, Cherry Pie, Ice Cream

I shouldn't even comment I should have been out of this post in 1 second! Bikini time is around the corner...

I just did smell the picture through the screen !!!
I visited thinking of another pie:

That kind of pie is a lot less fattening. But tough to take to a pitch-in dinner.

Angeliki # 12. May 2008, 17:54

tough to take to a pitch-in dinner"

you are right,
Having the lightest pie makes the digestion easier and the dinner more acceptable.
Too bad you come out of such dinner hungry for more substance.

Did somebody say popsicle?

Edward Piercy # 12. May 2008, 18:32

I guess I spelled popsicle wrong. But yeah, popsicle. Popsicle.

Popsicle...Star...

But to be serious, I don't think that popsicles are that fattening, are they? They're more like sherbert than ice cream.

Stardancer # 12. May 2008, 18:35

I don't care if they're fattening or not. I LIKE 'em. I like sherbert, too. Lime, to be exact. Orange is cool, too. (Pardon the pun.)

Edward Piercy # 12. May 2008, 18:38

Definitely lime.

Baskin Robbins used to have this sherbert called "ice" -- as in Daquiri Ice. I used to get it when I was a kid. No tequila in it, though.

Stardancer # 12. May 2008, 18:43

I seem to remember that. There are no more BR's here, though. They take all the good things away from us.

: pout:

Just to add to the total decadence, I had lemon meringue pie for breakfast. Why - because it was there!
