[Brundle_Fly]

33. I F*CKING LOVE PIE!

[progressoid]

17. Peach, pumpkin, apple, banana cream, coconut cream, and on and on...

k/r

[RichardRay]

18. Pecan - with three scoops of good vanilla ice cream.

Ideally, the scoops would be from three successively colder tubs of the ice cream, so they would soften to the perfect consistency as the piece of pie is consumed.

Honestly, it's almost as hard as getting the right milk/cereal proportions and consistency when eating Cap'n Crunch.

[mucifer]

19. I want to recomend the pie but I'm a Jewish vegetarian and most pies are made from lard.

But, I love the speech!

[azmouse]

57. I really love shoofly pie.

I was raised in Berks Co, PA and got used to seeing shoofly everywhere there, I can't find it at all out here in the desert. :(

I should learn to make my own.

[Desertrose]

69. I was raied in Lanc Co, PA and love that darn shoofly pie.

I did find some recipes...online somewhere I think. My ex's wife sends it out for the kids from Dutch Haven (they ship everywhere)..so I manage to get a slice if I'm lucky. :evilgrin:


My one Amish neighbor made the best....love the "wetbottom" the best.

:hi: You're right...I mention it out here in Zona & people think I'm crazy or kidding...but I take my shoofly pie very seriously.;)

[Number23]

[ailsagirl]

82. As a westerner, I've heard of it but never knew where the name

originated

[NYC_SKP]

29. "PIE" is code for "FUCK YOU McCAIN" no doubt about this, folks.

Taking it a step beyond, "I'm not going to dignify bullshit hate speech by responding to it", Barack is saying, "Fuck you, John, we're gonna talk a little bit about PIE, and then the economy and making America a better place."

Come on over for a slice!

:patriot:

[Ichingcarpenter]

31. What the Markets tomorrow on companies that make PIE

32. I thought this was about Pushing Daisies for a second.

Mmmmm . . . pie. I need to make one today.

[MikeE]

34. I love pie

and I've got great trick for making an incredibly flaky crust: use only butter and instead of cutting it in, keep it frozen and then grate it into the flour. You will be amazed.

[StrictlyRockers]

35. I like all kinds of pie!1

[Clio the Leo]

36. Lemon Meringue Pie is the only thing I know how to cook....

... for some reason, my mother taught me how to make it when I was seven and then never taught me anything else! lol

Here's the recipe....

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/magic-lemon-pie-from-eagle-brand/Detail.aspx

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
1 (8-inch) crumb or baked pie shell
1 (14 ounce) can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk (NOT evaporated milk)
1/2 cup lemon juice from concentrate
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
2 eggs, separated
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar, if desired
4 tablespoons sugar

DIRECTIONS
In mixing bowl, combine EAGLE BRAND®, lemon juice, lemon rind or extract, and egg yolks; stir until mixture thickens. Pour into chilled crumb crust or cooled pastry shell.
Add cream of tartar to egg whites; beat until almost stiff enough to hold a peak. Add sugar gradually, beating until stiff and glossy but not dry. Pile lightly on pie filling.
Bake 325 degrees F. until meringue is lightly browned. Cool.

I think I'll have to make one in sixteen days.

http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=inqd00PuNqQ

When the world is gray and bleak
Baby don't you cry
I will give you every bit of love that is in my heart
I will bake it up… into a simple little pie

Baby don't you cry gonna make a pie
Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle
Baby don’t be blue
Gonna make for you
Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle
Gonna be a pie from the heaven above
Gonna be filled with strawberry love

Baby don’t you cry
Gonna make a pie
Hold you forever in the middle of my heart.

Baby heres the sun
Baby heres the sky
Baby I’m the light and I’m your shelter
Baby you are mine
I could freeze the time

Keep you in my kitchen with me forever
Gonna be a pie from the heaven above
Gonna be filled with strawberry love

Baby don’t you cry
Gonna make a pie
Hold you forever in the middle of my heart.

Gonna bake a pie from the heaven above
Gonna be filled with butterscotch love

Gonna be a pie from the heaven above
Gonna be filled with banana cream love

Baby don’t you cry
Gonna make a pie

54. I hear tell that McCain is going to be forced to like humble pie

whether he likes it or not! :D

[saltpoint]

56. Pie matters.

I like it pretty much across the board.

Pressed to pick one pie for that desert island scenario, give me blueberry with a bucketful of whipped cream.

[Berry Cool]

58. I'm going to make coconut cream pie soon

and it's all Barack Obama's fault!

[Turn CO Blue]

59. I think "pie" is an inside joke in the campaign.

It's a joke they are playing on the media, and I'm sure it has a special meaning. They want to see how many times Barack can say the word pie in a bit and for how long before the media catches on... That doesn't mean that Barack doesn't love pie (who the hell doesn't LOVE pie?), but he is giggling inside when he tells the the bit because he knows the inside joke.

(Another vague possiblity is that most polls on DKos have a final option of "pie" (similar inside-joke weirdness to kitty threads on DU)

Oh, mother dear,
We sadly fear
Our leaders we have lost.
What! Lost your leaders,
You naughty freepers!
Then you shall have no pie.
Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.
You shall have no pie...

Everyone put pie on your dinner list for Nov 4th!

[yellerpup]

66. Error! Already recommended.

I'm making sweet potato pie the day before election day because I want to have some when I get home from working the polls on THE DAY BARACK OBAMA IS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! After 16 hours or so, some sweet potato pie ought to taste mighty good. :dem:

[Wetzelbill]

68. thats what I'm talking about.

[yellerpup]

71. I like pie almost as much as I like Obama!

I trust Obama more, though! :hi:

[crankychatter]

67. I could live off of pumpkin pie and espresso latte' in fact... I just finished two quad shots AND

half of a damn pie

74. My mom makes good apple pie....

Using the apples off the trees in our yard! :9

I should ask her to make another one for us this week! :patriot:

[Alcibiades]

77. Coconut cream is pretty much my favorite pie

Although it is hard to pick just one. My wife's baking was one of the big reasons I married her. None of that Mrs. Smith's garbage for me! And none of that store-bought crust, either!

Good choices! Rhubarb is old school.

89. It used to be called "pizza pie!" Also, can someone tell me why

cheesecake is not considered a pie? Its name certainly doesn't suggest so

[msanthrope]

86. I'm making pie right now---

I found two cans of veggies from last year--one pumpkin, one sweet potato. So I mixed them, threw in a can of sweetened condensed milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, and three whipped eggs.

Poured it into a pie shell made of Graham crackers, and topped it with oatmeal struesel (could NOT find the damn pecans...)

I'll let you all know how it comes out...

100. from the movie Waitress

Great film btw. The director/writer, Adrienne Shelly, wrote a lullaby for the movie. Here are the lyrics

Baby don't you cry, gonna make a pie, gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle. Baby don't be blue, gonna make for you, gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle. Gonna make a pie from heaven above, gonna be filled with strawberry love. Baby don't you cry, gonna make a pie, and hold you forever in the middle of my heart.

Here's info on the film: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waitress_(film)

On a sad note, she was murdered and left behind a little girl who is also in the movie.
