My neighbor Lady is a professional pie baker. she cooks around 1800 pies mostly for charity ( a godly Woman) A few days ago she introduced herself and asked me what my favorite pie was. I told her my Mom use to cook Banana cream pies that I loved, she said she would bake me one and bring it over. She knocked on my door today with this beautiful pie. People are so much nicer in the county it's something I'm not use to. I will NEVER live in a big city again. Guess what's for desert tonight.....suckers!

What are your faves?

some guys like bananas, some guys like poon tang

Lemon Meringue, Chevy, Rainshadow, Sony, and Cats under 10lb

I do love a banana cream pie.

There aren't a lot of pies I don't love, but I think my favorite is red huckleberry.

I love cake, too.

You're a lucky fuc.ker to have a neighbor like you have, SD.

You're right Dan, baking just seems like a lost art.

I like both.

I thought that story was going to end very differently...

Seriously though, a classic apple pie (not to sweet) with a scoop of vanilla.

hahaha, she's in her 70's. Even better when the apple pie is warm.

But not to hot Painful mistake!

Like mickey d's, fresh those are a hazard. There actually not too bad.

Pi day is coming up 3.14.

Banana cream or wild blackberry. My mother in law always does banana cream, chocolate cream, apple pie, and lemon meringue for the holidays. My dad does an awesome wild blackberry pie. Takes him a long time to pick the small wild blackberries. These are not the Himalaya type that grow along the road.

I love the little black berries, they have so much more flavor. I know a few honey holes for those, a lot of work for a pie. Sounds deelish.

Blueberry or warm apple with slice of melted cheddar on top. Anyone else do the apple pie and cheddar thing? The GF thought I was crazy until I forced her to try it. She's believer now.

apple pie with cheddar is tied for my fave with wild blackberry.

Favorite: Fresh peach pie and vanilla ice cream

Least Favorite: Fresh cow pie and bare feet

Duc, did you move?

It all depends on the quality of what goes in and who bakes it. I've had the best ever more than 10 times.

One thing is for sure, I can't bake a pie like some of the older ladies and I hope it's not a dying tradition.

Lilikoi chiffon. Then, again, maybe having it in Hawaii with assorted umbrella drinks helped.

Lots of people can bake a pie. A few can bake that pie in a perfect pie crust. Thankfully my younger daughter learned the trick from her mom, who learned it from her mom, who learned it from her mom. That's as far back as I know. My favorites are apple, huckleberry, and wild blackberry - the native ones, not the invasives. Huckleberry and wild blackberry are hard to come by. Takes me all day to pick enough for a pie.

Yep, about two weeks ago. Still have another trip from storage to here.
