Your favorite Pie

[ded i]

I'm gonna make three different kinds of pie for T-Day but I can't decide which ones to make. What's your favorite? What kind do you usually make/eat at Thanksgiving?

[Pyro]

Apple pie rocks, but anything sweet is good :spin:

[FireMonkey]

Gotta go with Cherry Pie. Blackberry cobbler is good too!

[tmbrcrafter]

Gotta go with hair pie......

[Mr.LaBella]

KEY LIME!

[Kalooch135]

I like pumpkin pie when it is done correctly. I have had bad pumpkin pie before. Yuck! Apple rates a close second.

[MJ]

I pick cherry!!!

[Clydetz]

I have to go with the Pumpkin Pie although McDonald's Hot Apple Pie is a close second.

[HorizonSon]

A marbled pumpkin spice - cheesecake pie is one of the all-time best!!!

:jdwink2:

[BenDibble]

a good ol' fashioned strawberry ruhbarb pie!

with my mom's pecan pie in a very close second....

[24thMED]

strawberry pie with apple and pumpkin a close second

[SZiehr]

buttermilk. I was gonna put hair, but tmbrcrafter beat me to it.

[Rene E. Roy]

True Story...my dad went to the doctors and the doctor had been asking my dad to shed a few pounds...(which he hadn't) so the doc asked him..if you could have any girl in the world to do whatever you wanted with her or a piece of pie what would you choose....my father thought a minute and said what kind of pie.....:spin:

[tmik]

beside Y pie....
sour cream and raisin...

[mp5man1]

Blueberry

God likes it to

[AlbertDershman]

This needs to be a checkbox poll. It is way to hard to pick just one. :)

[Umberto]

beside Y pie....


damn! you beat me to that one.

[Poolshark]

Ok first let me get this out of the way... Who the fuck eats mince pie? What the fuck kind of nasty surprise is that to give someone?
Here is a hell of a tasty new pie I ate the other day. http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2005/8/prweb274436.htm
I'm gonna eat it again soon.

[Big John aka Mod 12]

We put quite a few different pies in the freezer this summer.

For Thanksgiving we will have a fresh turban squash pie, pecan pie and the "other pie" will be a peach and a red raspberry pie.

Hair pie is on the menu tonight.

[RXX]

APPLE! Nothing like warm apple pie.

[Umberto]

My fave, and the favorite of about anybody that knows my mom, is a lemon pie she makes. The crust is most of the pie, its whipped eggwhites and sugar baked in a piepan. Then real whipped cream spread on top, then a layer of lemon sauce, and another layer of real whipped cream on top of that.

Melt in your mouth kinda pie. Nobody denies its the best there is.

I want some of this!!!!! Sounds tastie!!!!

[ilovekittens]

Coconut cream pie is my fav. The other side of the family melts american cheese on there apple pie. :jdvomit: Do other people do that or are they just weird? ILK

[Bobert]

Even though she don't post here anymore, I voted for Pumpkin because I still miss her. Besides, I don't know any of those other chicks.

[Mr.LaBella]

who? :idunno: :decoder:

[Komodo]

I voted for pumpkin, but I like everything on your list except pecan(:jdvomit: ).

I'll be making: Pumpkin, Apple Crumb, Cherry, and Blueberry, for the day after. (going out on T-Day)

A couple you forgot about, that if done right, are pretty good too, are Rhubarb, and Sweet Potato pies.

[G3]

Another vote for blueberry. :spin:

[Fenlore]

I am not really a pie man, But I do love cake and cupcakes.

[Bobert]

who? :idunno: :decoder:



You remember Pumpkin:pumpkin:, the funny bitch that use to slap Trixie :trixie: around!

[beergoddess]

i like pumpkin custard. but i also love pudding pie in shortbread crust!! chocolate or butterscotch is best. ewwwww... my husband absolutely loves mince meat pie. i cannot even stomach the smell of it. reminds me of strong potpurri or one of those mall candle stores. but he will sit and eat a whole pie at a sitting. YUCK!!

[Drivetech]

All of the above!!:madaddy:

I voted pecan, because I never get it anymore, but my wife's pumpkin, blueberry, and apple pies rock!

[ded i]

YUCK!!

Until she passed, my Mom always did one Mincemeat pie at Xmas and no one ever ate it. We asked her why she always make that pie and she said she made it for her mother (who died on Xmas eve.)

[TKC]

I have to have pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving.

[Umberto]

The other side of the family melts american cheese on there apple pie. :jdvomit: Do other people do that or are they just weird? ILK

I thought that was weird till I tried it.
There's a reason people like it. Its goood.
Its commonly served in resturants w/ melted cheese.

Its the way I like it now.

[Big John aka Mod 12]

I like cold cheddar cheese on my apple pie. It's an old American tradition.

My absolute favorite pie is rhubarb sans the strawberries. I'm all out though. We put away a lot of blueberries and will do up one of those soon. When I was in Canada I bought a couple of cans of Saskatoon Berries and will try one of those pies. I have a service berry bush in my back yard but it didn't produce any fruit this year.

Do you like Cool Whip or fresh whipped creame? I don't mind either one.

[Bobert]

I'll take dinner pies over dessert pies, any time. My favorite is pork pie with gravy, followed by shepherds pie, and chicken pot pie. Yum!

[Umberto]

Until she passed, my Mom always did one Mincemeat pie at Xmas and no one ever ate it. We asked her why she always make that pie and she said she made it for her mother (who died on Xmas eve.)

well now you've just made us all sad.


Naw, thats cool.
At xmas my mom always made cherry for me, apple for my dad, and mincemeat for my brother.
But I do love mincemeat, but its gotta be a good homemade mincemeat pie.
Cafeteria mincemeat sucks.

[wrockz]

I only like two kinds of pie...HOT or COLD:ssmile:
Actually I like cranberry pie (very littly sugar) served with two cups of coffee.

[ded i]

Does mincemeat really have meat in it? I just remember the preserved lemon and green stuff ... I've never made mincement because no one every eats it.

I want a coconut creme now! :devilzide

[Umberto]

Do you like Cool Whip or fresh whipped creame? I don't mind either one.

Gotta be fresh.
Don't like cool whip, rather have nothing.
Now the stuff in a can is OK, what is that? Quip? Used to be Quip.

My first roommate after high school, he wanted to get some stuff and take it to his grandma's and let her make strawberry shortcake for us.
I said "Naw man, we can do that at home. Just whip some cream, slice some strawberries, and put it on the shortcakes. Thats all there is to it."

He said "whip some cream? no, thats too much trouble, we use Quip."

So he wanted to drive across town to his grandma's cause putting strawberries and some Quip on a shortcake was too much for him.

[Umberto]

Dont think mincemeat has meat in it.
Pretty sure about that.

[dee]

Real mincemeat pie has meat in it......I don't care at all for the canned filling or the frozen pies.

I have a killer recipe for mincemeat ....... calls for venison. But I have made it using beaver.....REALLY. :bwah:

Beaver pie anyone? :fenlore: :bwah:

[Big John aka Mod 12]

I'll take dinner pies over dessert pies, any time. My favorite is pork pie with gravy, followed by shepherds pie, and chicken pot pie. Yum!

I like those, too, but you still need dessert.

On my next trip to Canada I'm going to try a steak and kidney pie.

[Umberto]

Perhaps a good suet pudding?
:jdvomit:

[Umberto]

Beaver pie anyone? :fenlore: :bwah:


Yeeeee HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

[Bobert]

I like those, too, but you still need dessert.





OK, in that case, I'll go with the hair pie, but I'm probably gonna wind up putting some meat in it!:wes:

[Pyro]

Leanne says I've got post something good on her behalf since she's AFK at the moment so I've come to the conclusion the that Leanne's favourite pie is Pie Row :spin: :madaddy:

[zzjake]

PEACH PIE the only way to fly, gotta have a lot of cinnamon in the crust

[Clydetz]

Does mincemeat really have meat in it? I just remember the preserved lemon and green stuff ... I've never made mincement because no one every eats it.

There is only one mincemeat pie in existence! It gets passed around by everyone at Thanksgiving time. Another interesting fact: there is only one fruitcake in existence... it gets passed around at Christmas time! I wouldn't lie!!

[Dylan]

Pecan pie would be my favorite. I enjoy a fine cherry pie as well.

[Mr.LaBella]

You remember Pumpkin:pumpkin:, the funny bitch that use to slap Trixie :trixie: around!

Trixie held her own! you crazy? I saw a great thread the other day too *click* (http://www.jerzeedevil.com/forums/showthread.php?t=596)


I like key..............oops! repeat!:bwah:

[Bobert]

Trixie held her own! you crazy?



Ha! Pumpkin was just toying with her, she could of owned Trixie any time she wanted to!
I wonder what that pie looks like now that it's had a kid pushed through it!

[Jilly]

I picked pecan, because the only thing better than pecan pie is MORE PECAN PIE!! I also like pumpkin pie with whipped cream.

Upside down keylime pie is a close third. (keylime pie with a crunchy merengue crust mmmmm!)

If I have to pick a fruit pie, i'll go with cherry.

My alltime favorite desert food is definitely Tirimisu though!!

[BenDibble]

[QUOTE=Jilly]Upside down keylime pie is a close third. (keylime pie with a crunchy merengue crust mmmmm!)[QUOTE]

the quickest way to :ron:'s heart is through keylime pie. :ropeman:

[MarieLaveau]

I chose pecan, because I grew up with them and they bring back good memories.

Oh, and please, people.....please for the love of God, never say PEE-can. It's puh-CAHN. PEE cans are what long haul truckers keep under their seat for emergencies.:wes:

that reminds me of the my ongoing struggle to get people to say "Ma-naise" not "May-o-Naise".........

I'll keep the Puh-CAHN in mind when pronouncing it, although I don't care to eat it. They do look festive though. :spin:

[FireMonkey]

One that we used to make at the bakeries, while may sound gross, is really good.

You take 1/2 of a carrot cake and put a pumpkin cheese cake on top of it. YUMMY!

[Jilly]

That sounds uber yummy!

[MJ]

I would also like to add that I like what is called "Razzleberry" pie. Some sort of raspberry pie at the local Marie Callendar's. It was TASTY!!!!!!!!!! :woot:

[HorizonSon]

Close seconds for me would be a good key-lime or a good dark chocolate mouse!... YUM!

[zzjake]

Hell, while we're at it. lets throw a shepards pie in, I know its not a dessert, but they are damn good.

[Raoul]

Àny kind of pie involving lots of chocolate and nuts is good in my book!!!:jdwink2:
I will settle for a nice warm piece of "grandma's" apple pie for 2nd place.

[ded i]

I didn't put peach (which is my favorite!) or strawberry in the pool because I only make them in season - or in the summer. I almost added hair pie in because I know you guys ... But Wow! I'm getting an education -

:bow: Dee for Beaver in the pie ...

Ron - thank you! HOw could I forget Key Lime!

If anyone has a fabulous Key Lime recipe - I'd like to hear it. I already have the fridge version - I think there is a cooked version - sort of like Lemon Meringue - anyone know that one?

I have just about decided to do Apple, Blueberry & Pecan. But I'm gonna feel bad if I don't make a pumpkin ... decisions :ssad:

[zzjake]

Hell Deadeye, canned peaches work well and they are easy to use. I hear some people use the liquid in making the dough for crusts. When I lived in NOLA I could satisfy my cravings with a local fried peach pie made by Hubigs

[ded i]

Never tried canned peaches - duh - but I see how it could work really well ... slow boil cornstarch with the liquid for a minute or two, add the peaches and stir off-burner for about a minute, then stick it right in the pie shell & bake as usual - don't use much sugar ... thnx zz

Fried peach eh? Mmmmm ...

[zzjake]

Its not a pie. but I like to add canned peaches to generic white cake mixes, also throw in some cinnamon. Its a really moist cake and evey one thats tried it likes it.

You need to try my peach cobbler. I make it with canned and fresh peaches that are mixed together. You can't beat it with a stick.

I like apple pie but with the the French topping. I'm going to make one today just for the heck of it. I use the Betty Crocker recipe. I pretty much BC for all my pie needs.

My mom gave each of her 4 daughters a Betty Crocker 3-ring notebook cookbook - it's still my standard for the basics.

I think Xray married me for my apple pie - I make apple pie in a cookie sheet/sponge cake pan - cut in squares - he ate pie with his coffee every morning our first 4 or 5 years together. Now he likes homemade biscotti with his coffee ..

[Clydetz]

Close seconds for me would be a good key-lime or a good dark chocolate mouse!... YUM!

Maybe you should send Deadeye Dick the recipe for 'dark chocolate mouse' just in case she finds another one in her toilet. I think I'd go for the Key-lime pie myself but there is no accounting for people's taste. :jdwink2:

Just a simple extra "s" but what a difference in taste appeal!

[Brian]

Pumpkin + 1 here. I have always loved pumpkin pie since I was a little devil. I guess apple would be second. :jdsmokin:

[tubtar]

he ate pie with his coffee every morning our first 4 or 5 years together.

X and I are muy sympatico on this one.
I refer to them as " breakfast squares " and it don't matter if it is pie or cake .........I gotta have a sugar fix to get me rolling.
I voted for pecan here , but you are making the " big three " as far as I am concerned.
Any of those served warm with a scoop and 1/2 of good vanilla ice cream knocks me out quicker than a quaalude.
Blame it on the triptophen in the turkey if you want , but pie is like the last shot of bourbon after a night of drinking..........it is soon sleepy time.

I learned to cook from my mom's BC 3 ring when i was little.
Well, home made egg nog anyway.

I learned to cook from my mom's BC 3 ring when i was little.
Well, home made egg nog anyway.

A good nog is hard to find. What do you like in it? I use some cheap French brandy.

My mother gave my wife this BC cookbook, I use, when we got married. We also got a Joy of Cooking for a wedding present. I love that book.

I made apple sauce the other day and used the recipe out of a Better Homes and Garden cookbook my mom had when I was a yonker. It came out pretty good. It's better when it ferments a bit. I put it on ice creame.

[ded i]

I made date-nut pinwheel cookies today. They're so cute.

I :love: egg nog !

[MarieLaveau]

I have two more Italian Apple Cakes cooling in the kitchen right now....liberally sprinkled with amaretto while still warm. MMMmmmmmmmm!:bwah:

[ded i]

Marie - we gotta bake together sometime! I also made 5 dozen tiny chocolate cupcakes, biscotti, and dozens of white chocolate leaves for when I frost the cupcakes - plus dipped pecan halfs 2/3's in chocolate to put with the white chocolate leaves... Are we crazy ... :ropeman:

[MarieLaveau]

Yes ma'am, we do. I'll bring the home made vanilla and some booze.:wes:

Sounds like you got really creative today! I'd love to see the white chocolate leaves....did you use lemon leaves to make them?

[MJ]

I'll tell you two what, you all can cook, and I'd be more than willing to come and be the "sampler"......I can taste test for quality.:madaddy:



Although I'm sure it's awesome, you can never be too careful with quality control. :)

[ded i]

I used Rose leaves - there were some just the right size still in the garden. Here's some of my test pieces:

i like egg nog, too. southern comfort puts one out. i like the chipwich brand. on xmas eve, after the kiddies go to bed, we crack out the bacardi 151 and eggnog and get the partAy started!

[txkaratedude]

I picked puhcahn pie, cause puhcahns are so abundant here and me mudder makes a gud wun. Punkin and peach are gud too.
And why was pecan pie last on the list? That's bias. At least it could've been alphabetical.

[Raindog]

Got to agree with tmbrcrafter and hair pie here. Turkey pot pie runs a distant second.

[Bogflogger]

Dont do Thanksgiving over here, but gimme Cherry Pie any Day!

PS: Great Baking!

:jdsmokin:

[Slick]

I voted "Pecan" but "mince-meat" is my second favorite as it usually gets ignored!!:kingkaxt:

[ded i]

hey thats cool.

but you dont really know where those leaves have been.

They've been in my garden! I washed 'em - just in case some birds or mices :peeps: on them. I saw one little red spider ....

Now I think I should also make pumpkin pie ...

[silenthunterstudios]

I'm gonna make three different kinds of pie for T-Day but I can't decide which ones to make. What's your favorite? What kind do you usually make/eat at Thanksgiving?

Homemade apple pie covered with an entire can of whip cream, for one slice!

[RXX]

My fave, and the favorite of about anybody that knows my mom, is a lemon pie she makes. The crust is most of the pie, its whipped eggwhites and sugar baked in a piepan. Then real whipped cream spread on top, then a layer of lemon sauce, and another layer of real whipped cream on top of that.

Melt in your mouth kinda pie. Nobody denies its the best there is.

My mouth has been watering all weekend since I read this post. I know it won't be near as good as the one your mom makes, but I have to get my wife to try.

[zzjake]

Hell, this thread is gonna get a lotta devils a LOT of calories!

[Umberto]

The trick with this pie is having the egg white crust end up where its crumbly and melts in the mouth, rather than chewy.
I need to get the recipe down on paper.

Please post it - does your mom use a recipe ?

[Umberto]

No she knows it, and I'm not sure if its still in her old recipe box or if I need to get it written down.
She showed my uncle how to make it a few weeks ago.

See she's getting pretty old and her memory is getting weak, so folks in the family who know the pie are coming around with "Uh, could you show me how to make that pie?"

I've made one before, its not hard. Fresh eggs, I know you need the eggs to be fresh. She uses a double boiler for the lemon filling.
And even when the crust turns out a little chewy at the edge its still a great pie.
I'll look into it right away.

[ilovekittens]

I'd take a good cheese cake above any pie. Is it a cake or is it a pie? It has a crust like a pie. I just don't know. I'm no chef. ILK

[Umberto]

cheese cake is good enough to be classed as a pie.

[Umberto]

I like anything w/ Eagle Brand milk.

Which brings me to a question:
If you open up some eagle brand and store what you dont use in a jar, how long you think that will keep in the fridge?

[Umberto]

Its not a pie. but I like to add canned peaches to generic white cake mixes, also throw in some cinnamon. Its a really moist cake and evey one thats tried it likes it.

now this sounds good.

[SZiehr]

Oh, and please, people.....please for the love of God, never say PEE-can. It's puh-CAHN. PEE cans are what long haul truckers keep under their seat for emergencies.:wes:


I'm fighting that same battle with my inlaws here in Colorado. Not a damn pecan tree anywhere up here and yet they think THEY are the ones that know how to pronounce it!

[Matches]

I picked pecan pie but my all time favorite is a chocolate pie my mom used to make. The recipe was handed down on my dads side of the family...so rich that you couldn't eat for days afterwards.:devilzeek

Wife made her first apple pie the other day - straight from scratch. it's her fault I am gaining weight.

I do prefer cherry pie however.....fresh, hot, sizzling, sweet, tart, and.....

Do you have a recipe?

[Soup_Monger]

Sure. :)

It's the sort of thing I would have in a pub/bar with a couple of pints of beer, but, here is a good recipe for you.

Ingredients
Main:
115g (4 oz) plain flour
salt and fresh ground black pepper
900g (31 oz) stewing steak, cubed
4 tbsp Olive Oil
2 Onions, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
3 celery stalks, finely chopped
2 Carrots, peeled and chopped
2 Parsnips, peeled and chopped
800g (28 oz) tinned chopped tomatoes
600ml (21 oz) Guinness
225g (8 oz) button mushrooms
750g (27 oz) Puff Pastry
1 egg, beaten

Method
1. Season the flour with salt and freshly ground pepper. Coat the stewing steak in the seasoned flour. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan.

2. In batches, fry the beef until browned. Using a slotted spoon transfer to a casserole dish. Re-heat the frying pan and fry the onion, garlic and celery for 5-10 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add the onion mixture, carrots and parsnips to the casserole.

3. Add chopped tomatoes, Guinness and mushrooms. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Bring to the boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 2 hours, stirring now and then.

4. Preheat the oven to 190°C/Gas 5. Divide the beef stew among 6 small individual pie dishes. Roll out the pastry and top each pie dish with a puff pastry lid, wetting the rims of the pastry dish with water to help the pastry to stick.

5. Brush the pies with beaten egg and cut a slash in each one. Bake for 45 minutes until the pies are golden-brown. Serve.


Cheers.

[Big John aka Mod 12]

Thank you very much. I'll make it this weekend.

Cheers,

[zzjake]

Damn, that soup monger addition sounds mighty tastey, I see some of that in my future

[ded i]

Wow- that looks good! Is this the real deal or did you SOUP IT UP ... :ssmile:

~ wet the pastry to make it stick - I'm impressed.

[Ropeman]

I vote Banoffee. The chef on the platform I was just on made a killer banoffee pie with a cheesecake base and whipped cram on top. I put on 8 pounds while away :ropeman:

[Ropeman]

If we're going for savoury pies a la Soupmonger, I'd have to go for steak pie, that recipe looks pretty damn fine.

[Matches]

Could you please post that one - or is it a family secret? Chocolate pie - Yum! I've tried a few, but I still haven't found one that is really special.

I believe I have the recipe, If I can find it, I'll post it.:spin:

[Big John aka Mod 12]

Wot is Banoffee?

I bought all the makings for Steak and Guinness today and will do it this weekend when everyone is sick of turkey. I hope the Guinness lasts that long.

I bought a big bunch of golden delicious apples and am going to make a French apple pie tomorrow just for giggles. We have six pies planned for the weekend.

I've got about 12 bottles of ice wine and late harvest riesling to go with them, not to mention the port and creame sherry.

oooohhhh... ice wine and riesling!!! my kinda guy! have you ever had Berncastler Doctor Riesling Spatlese??? it is THE best. 1995 was my fav year for it. the kabinett is good, too. but i prefer really sweet, late wines.

[Umberto]

BJ you know how to live.

[Ropeman]

I'd assumed banoffee pie was an American dish.

Recipes here: http://www.banoffee.co.uk/banoffee/recipe1.html

Here's one. Biscuits are cookies :madaddy:

Ingredients

* Tin (~400g) of condensed milk (NOT evaporated milk!)
* Three large bananas
* One packet of McVities Chocolate Hob-Nobs (whatever you'd use for cheesecake - Ropes)
* Half-pint of double cream, or whipping cream
* 2 tablespoons margarine (or butter)

Method

Crush the biscuits in a freezer bag with a rolling pin until they are reduced to crumbs. Gently heat some margarine in a saucepan until liquid (or just leave some out at room temperature to soften). Pour crumbs and liquid/soft margarine and mix in with the crumbs until they start to bind together. Transfer the biscuit crumbs to a round dish (a large Pyrex dish is good) and pat with a spoon so that they cover the base. Place in the fridge to set. Put the tin of condensed milk in a pan of boiling water (NB- don't open the tin first!) and allow to boil for 2 hours . You should put a lid on the pan to prevent all the water boiling off. When done, remove the tin and leave to cool a little (you could pour cold water on it to cool the outside). When cool enough to handle, open the tin carefully - the condensed milk will have caramelised and may well shoot out the opening. Pour/spoon the toffee from the tin onto the biscuit base of the Pyrex dish. Place back in the fridge to cool. Slice the bananas and arrange them on top of the toffee. Whip the cream until peaking, then fold on top and smooth out. Dust with chocolate powder for effect. Keep in the fridge until needed, covered with cling-film.

You may want to make the biscuit base with a lip (a bit like a flan or pavlova). Start the condensed milk boiling, then do the base. Have a rest for a while, then pour out the toffee and start on the cream and bananas. Serve cut into wedges in a bowl.

It all sounds good, but you fella's do realize Americans don't use the metric system. Therefore these recipes will take hours of mathematical conversions. I thought we were suppose to switch over to it at one time. When that time comes everything here will be in spanish and I will no longer be able to read the recipe, so I'm screwed either way.:stfu2: ILK

[Soup_Monger]

Ah... good point ILK...

I'll do the sums and edit my recipe..

Cheers.

[Ropeman]

You can use the internet though, that's metric.

Ah, you meant Soupy, I went to edit mine into pecks, bushels, chains and fathoms but apart from a tin= a can, there isn't much measuring. American pints are smaller than proper pints so that will be 10 oz of cream.

[Soup_Monger]

Ok... I've added ounces to my recipe... can someone tell me if that works now?

Cheers.

[ilovekittens]

Just kidding with you Soup. We are not that lazy. Let's see 1lb=2.2kg and 1000g=1kg and ah...Well shit maybe we are. :bwah: ILK

[Soup_Monger]

Ounces added. :jdevil:



:bwah:

Wow thats like putting a pair of glasses on. I can see clearly now. ILK

Yum! That pumpkin gobbler looks great!

[tubtar]

A thing of beauty , m'dear.
Judy will be doing cheesecakes for tomorrow , but was thoroughly impressed with your pecan arrangement and pumpkin adornments.
I am willing to bet they taste better than they look........and they look delicious.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned cowpies yet...or mudpies...

[Big John aka Mod 12]

I made a French apple pie today. It wasn't my best offering as I have a cold and have been medicating with vodka. I tried to stuff a nice incher in a eight inch pie plate. It is pretty thick and should be tasty. We haven't eaten yet and I'm gettin anxious and loaded.

It looks fabulous to me. Nice pieplate, too!

I think it's a tribute to the power of Jerzee Devils that I ended up making the three top pies on the poll - instead of what I originally intended. :devilzide

[silenthunterstudios]

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin pie, but I love apple pie. Had a good slice yesterday, and found some peppermint flavored whipped cream. I thought it was going to be terrible, but surprisingly, it was really good.:devilzeek

Made by Land o Lakes I think.

Don't flatter them guys.........it was the psychic messages I was sending.
Ya didn't notice the bent spoons ?
Yuri Geller ? I OWN Yuri Geller !
Did you see the small spot that looked like someone was rat gnawing on them..........psychic sampling.
And DIZZAYUM , but they were tasty.
A mind is a terrible thing.

My son told me the pie was good. He ate one piece and took the rest home with him. I'll have to make another one this weekend. The sponge ware pie plate comes from that place on the Ohio/WV line. We have a bunch of their bowls and such.

My daughter-in-law made two nice turban squash pies and left one with me.

[Big John aka Mod 12]

The trick with this pie is having the egg white crust end up where its crumbly and melts in the mouth, rather than chewy.
I need to get the recipe down on paper.

Umberto-:

I'm patiently waiting for that recipe.

My wife made me an apple pie, yesterday, using Jonagold's off the tree in our back yard. It was wonderful.

How many use lard in their pie crust? I was told that bear lard makes the best pie crust but haven't killed a bear in a long time. Lard makes the best crusts.

Damn I was over there and I forgot.
I'll be back over there in a couple of days probably.

I call racism! where in the hell is the PIZZA pie option?:signhere: :ropeman:

[Big John aka Mod 12]

I call racism! where in the hell is the PIZZA pie option?:signhere: :ropeman:

We need to start a new poll and thread for that one. It is hard to find a decent pizza out here. It's not like the east coast or Chicago. There is one place that makes good pizza but it is clear over by the Point Defiance Bridge and too far to go without a designated driver. A good calzone is hard to find as well.

[Umberto]

Ok I got this recipe from my mom.
Its called a Lemon Angel Pie.
So I googled it and lo and behold, I found it!

http://southernfood.about.com/od/lemonpierecipes/r/bl40311n.htm

this is the same pie.
The only differences in my mom's recipe is she does not use the salt or the butter.
She uses 1/2 tsp of tartar instead of 1/4.
She uses 1/2 cup sugar in the filling instead of 1/3.

Eggs should be room temp.
And not a smidgen of yolk or anything else should be in the eggwhites when you beat them.
Refrigerate overnight.
And its a real crapshoot as to whether the crust ends up chewy at the edges. Chewy is not what youre going for.

[RoadFish]

:bumpity: Eskimo and Hair!

[tubtar]

It is the pie eatin time of year.
Good bumpage.
Splenda and small ( read microscopic ) slices will be on my menu.
I have told more than a couple folks...........I kicked booze and dope some 22 years ago..........I've stopped smoking a handful of times.
That was child's play compared to putting down the desserts.
Sugary treats are the Devil's own drug of choice.:bwah:

[rudechuck]

Uhm, I like pie. :eat:

[RoadFish]

I be makin' sweet potato pie for Thanksgiving, since we are short of guys in suits selling pies on the corner in my little village.

[Towelie]

bah, weak sauce! Had TG dinner last night since my folks are off to Vegas next week. There was some pie, but no pumpkin.

My favorite is cheesecake, even though it is named after a cake, it is still a pie.

plain cheesecake is great. Marie Calendars carries a variation called Kahlua Cream Cheese which is fucking delicious with a dark crust and a couple of dark swirls in the top of the pie. My S-I-L made one last year for TG that was a pumpkin cheesecake, and that was pretty awesome as well. Cheesecake in general is my favorite, although i have never had a keylime pie. A close second is banana cream pie.

[RoadFish]

Umm! I love cheesecake. I have a friend in San Diego who has a baking company that makes high end cheesecakes for top end restaurants. I love it when he drops by and brings samples!

I live in SD. My love of cheesecake compels me to demand the name of said bakery. I'm assuming they deal with the general public as well?

[RoadFish]

They only sell wholesale. They supply the top restaurants and some hotels in Vegas. They also make the BEST brownies!! In the old days in OB, Sam's Cheesecakes went well after honey oil.

Peach pie! Good to make for 52 weeks out of the year. I even demand that for my birthday...who needs a cake when there's peach pie to be had.:devil1:

You have NO idea what great cheesecake is!
My wife's home made kicks all others to hell! Very creamy, and she will try to make any variety I suggest. Last year she made a chocolate Kahlua that was insanely delicious!
Only problem is that she does not make them often enough.:devil1:

that's a pretty bold statement. LOL. send me a piece next time.

my S-I-L's a dessert fiend and pretty creative. that pumpkin pie cheesecake she made was pretty tastey if i may say so. although i don't have a picture of that, i do have a pic of her kitty litter treat she made for last years Halloween party. i thought you guys might get a kick of how real it looked.

Not sure how to ship food across the country, but next time she makes one I'll try to send you some. These things really are a treat!

[Towelie]

yeah, i was just teasing. i'm not really sure either. i tried that with one of my old Moteng clients that lived in MA(lobster). i think it needs to go by UPS Sonic Air. LOL.

Cheesecake is pretty easy to make. I make it a couple of times a year.

I'm gonna have to attempt this at least once. Can you point me to a decent recipe?

[RoadFish]

Here you go. New York Cheesecake. Not politically correct, but this is from the Frugal Gourmet. It is cheesecake the way I like it. Not too creamy. I like a little solidity to mine. I like it straight up, but my wife likes fresh raspberries or strawberries over it. BTW you do need a spring pan for this.

Roadfish,
That's one I'll have to try!!! I love Key Lime pie & I'm not saying that to be a suck up either.

Sugar Cream pie. And without a doubt the fitness lunatics would have an absolute mental collapse at both the ingredients and caloric contents:demented:
