What Kind O' Pie?
Today is Thanksgiving here in 'merka.
I'm sorry about ur not having thanksgiving in whatever land you, a non-'merkin, are in. You can still have PIE, though. I just had pecan pie with whipped cream and it's NOT EVEN DINNER YET!!

Not really a pie liker. Except apple. I could eat five apple pies in a row. Pumpkin is OK. I like a chocolate mousse type pie. And my cheeseburger pie.
I don't know what sis-in-law has in store but I bet I don't have room for pie! |

Pumpkin and apple were planned, but my wife didn't make enough crusts last night.
So the pumpkin will be traditional, and the apple will be more of a "beggar's purse" In earlier years, our kids didn't so much like apple or pumpkin. They made a big commotion to have Mom make cherry pie instead... until Mom told them: "We are having cherry pie this year... just made with apples" . |

Ha! My brother says I'm un-merkin since I don't like cherries. He wants to deport me.

Pumpkin and/or sweet potato pies, maybe pecan pie, and definitely chocolate pie and Jello pie (which goes in a rectangular baking dish rather than a pie tin, but that just means there's more of it to enjoy.)
We like desserts. |

I think pies are over rated. We're having apple crisp. Ten times better than apple pie. I'm looking forward to it.

I like apple crisp, too, glatt.
What is Jello pie? Is that a sneaky way of saying "Jello" - ?

I'm afraid pie on this day is another American thing (at least to my and mine).
Some people might have eaten pies, but chances are they will have been savoury, meaning non-sweet. I had a jacket potato, the 'rents are having pasta. They are already selling mince pies in the shops (sweet mincemeat, mentioned before). But I'm not a great fan. My favourite pie is a Pieminister Moo and Blue Pie. Beef and Stilton. But it's the wrong time of the week AND the wrong time of the month (payday wise) to have one. Note to self - never go to the US during Thanksgiving. You will come across as a surly furriner, not really liking sweet pies, or nuts, or pumkins or anything candied.
