Dys is enraged with me. I don't argue with him enough. which annoys him.

did you call Dys?

I haven't talked to him for a few hours, but ...

last I heard, that was mebbe not such a great idea.

This is where we differ in opinion. Not that I ever recorded what opinions expressed here that were similar or different before between you and me. Never thought of it until now.

This was a right charming thread until sometime in the wee early hours of Sunday morning and then all Hell broke loose.

I think we need a forensics team to come in and pull a CSI treatment on the thread to figure out who killed the relative peace in this mostly rambling/incoherent antidiscussion.

Not going there.

that's prolly best.

have a great evening...

Charming? Curious choice of words for this thread.

So...who likes pie, apple and cherry are my favorite, last Thanksgiving I ate a whole apple pie by myself, my sister brought it, but I don't think she made it. Sometimes the apples are too hard, and they kinda pop when you bite them, sometimes they are a big soggy, and just squish up too easy...this pie was just right.

I am really pissed off. Costco makes a killer Pumpkin Pie, but you can only get it from around October until New Years'. So they still have the apple all year, which is great, but they think they can curry favor with customers by selling cherry pies, (probably in honor of George Washington).

I want my Pumpkin Pie!!!

I had a thing for lemon meringue, but then I discovered key lime,, of course there are times when ala mode is the thing in which case, apple or cherry maybe, but then I start thinking about warm peach ala mode, ahh pie, I just love the stuff.

Piffle, tell us about crusts.

Does anyone remember Nesselrode pie? I don't think that I have seen it around for decades. What I would give for that little piece of heaven!

I remember the word. Did it involve.. oh, no, candied fruits?

Peach cobbler, yum.....I can't handle pumpkin pie...I think it is just too much flavor, to rich....I usually beg a bite from my wife, and that's all I can take. Same with Pecan pie, they taste great, but it's just too much.

A few years ago my grandmother found some very very sour blackberries....there is a candy called warheads, nearly that sour, anyway....I could not get enough of the stuff, I love sour. At one of our firestation dinners, I had her make a cobbler, the firechief tried it, since he saw how much I was enjoying it, and actually hit the floor after the first bite...dropped to his knees...then gave me the rest of his piece....about an hour later he was back, cut another piece and took his time with it....a few days later, he showed up at her door and paid her to make him one. They were so good, wish we could find more of those berries.

Geez, 2packs, give us the recipe...

Okay, a bit too much hyperbole but I'm trying to steer this thread away from its 'wolf fangs tearing at the jugular vein of each others' necks' nature that the thread has started to turn since this Sunday morn.

Time Out NY picks the top 54 NYC pies!

I was about to write that Jean Niedich would turn over in her grave. Just to make sure, and I checked, and to my chagrin, discovered that she is still with us!

Normally her cobblers taste about the same as anyother, a friend of hers had brought the berries to her because nobody could stand them, and she knew that she had a son that loves that sort of thing. Seems like something happend to that friend ...she was an older woman....wild berries often do not produce every year because of the way they grow...in fence rows, so by the time it came around to get more, we had no idea where to find them.

Be still my heart. I knew that there was a reason that I need to get my N.Y. "fix" at least once a year!

The great pie tour of NYC! Someone could make a killing selling this bus tour to tourists! Could easily beat the famous Sex and the City, Seinfeld, and pizza tours of NYC.
