Pie ala Thursday #336?

[Karen]

I'll channel Thanksgivings from childhood, when deciding was never a strong point, and I had no food allergies.

So can I have a little sliver of mince pie, and a little sliver of pumpkin pie, and a small piece of apple pie, please? With a slice of good, sharp cheddar on the side of the apple pie. And then later I'll have a piece of pecan pie, when I have recovered from the first batch!

Ah, IT's Pie ala Thursday, not Death by Pie!

All of the above!

DONE!!!

When we (Lady's Human and I) were kids, there were always at least those four pies - pumpkin, apple, mince and pecan - made for Thanksgiving, and sometimes a rhubarb one as well, made from rhubarb that was harvested and frozen earlier in the summer. And sometimes Uncle Mac would bring a blueberry pie, too - made from that summer's harvest ...

And that was just part of what was present for dessert! Ma was happiest serving a whole houseful of people, and no one ever went away hungry. Even with all those pies, there was rarely any left over for the next day.

That's why I requested mere slivers of those pies! Thereby preventing death by pie!

Could I have Key lime pie, please? And a coffee, too, please. I love Key lime pie!

Is there any of Grandma's chocolate pie left? Give me the biggest piece ya got!... Black coffee with it please.

Save me some of that Key Lime for tomorrow. No coffee to drink, but some coffee ice cream on that pie would be good

Mmmmmmmm ...


I can do Pie fur Breakfast!

How's about Apple with a side of Pumpkin?
And a Cider chaser.

And fee free to dump any leftover pie dust & crumbs right on top.
*Thanks*!

I have too agree with Karen, We always have at lest 4 pies. The regular were the pumpkin, apple, mince meat and blueberry. Then there were the rhubarb, peach, and Boston cream (not really a pie). Just finish Thanksgiving and start for Christmas, my birth day 3 weeks after Christmas so I would always have a Boston cream the middle of January.
All these pies go great with hot apple cider right out of the press, stirred with a cinnamon stick, store bought is just not the same.
It's a basic north east thing.

Mmmm...some blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream is just what I need after a 2+ hour meeting!

How did I miss this thread?? - I love pie....

So many good ones already mentioned - I think I'll take a sliver of these for starters:

apple, mincemeat, pumpkin, blueberry.............

and after these have a chance to settle - I'll take a big piece of cherry - my favorite.

A nice hot cappuccino to top it off would hit the spot. It's chilly here. The summer of '09 is now just a memory.
