A Quest for Pie

Tue, 10/31/2006 - 7:39am — Sarah


Who does the best pies in town? This is an important, serious quest, one that will require much tasting. Seasonally appropriate also: autumn equals pumpkin pie.

Have fork, will eat pie.

Pie fight!

piefight
The McCleary Methodist Church frequently holds community wide brunches and dinners, and the pies are legendary. If you're lucky, you'll be there during the traditional pie fight!

So that's what I'm missing

Formal dress, I knew I'd forgotten something. Obviously this is key to proper pie enjoyment.

As a recovering Methodist

 I can testify that the Methodist Communion is pie and coffee in the fellowship hall after services.

And I got my "Pumblechook's Pork Pie" recipe all ready to dish out, hmm.

Pumpkin, Shmumpkin.

Do share!

Any good pie is good pie, I'm not pumpkin particular, though it is my first and enduring love.

Pork Pie?

Would that be British Pork pie?  My limey SO is desperate for a pork pie.   I'll buy one off you!

I make the best pie. 

I make the best pie.  Ever.  Ha.

Be my friend?

I'll sing unicorn songs. I'll create a web site just for you with unicorns and humor. I'll from now on refer to you as Diva OperaGirl of Olympia, World Renowned.

Maybe we should have an OlyBlog pie-in sometime. Some of the guys can demonstrate proper cream pie throwing technique waaaaaay on the other side of the room while the rest of us can, you know, eat lots of pie!

Ha ha...I am picturing you

Ha ha...I am picturing you eating pie and singing songs about unicorns. 

I do really like to make pies...all different kinds...savory and sweet.  I haven't made any lately as my food processor broke and I hate cutting in butter by hand and I really hate pre made store bought pie crusts.  For me - it's all about the crust! 

I have never been in a pie throwing contest.  I think *we* should get to throw the pies at the guys.  Now that would be fun.  =)

Pie in the sky

My song about unicorns would be properly muffled by pie eating, properly because I cannot sing.

I like the sound of us throwing pies at the OlyBlog guys. This might need to be a regular happening.

and awesome peanut-butter milkshakes....have I mentioned that before? omg they are just great. There's a cute waitress there too, I forget her name though. Probably not important to anyone else though.

Olympia's Bestest Ever Pies are at 5th Ave Sandwich shop.

No comparison locally. I actually hate eating pie.. unless it's a pie from the 5th Ave.

My Pie in the Sky business

My Pie in the Sky business idea - don't steal it!  Yes, there are a few of these in Seattle...we can modify the name to satisfy legal obligations.

I'd like to start a 'Pies and Pints' type business in the art-deco bus station building.  Not pizza pies (although we may have a calzone/stromboli type pie) but rather pie, pies.

I'm thinking a Blueberry Wheat Ale with a Vanilla ice cream pie.  Or, maybe a pint of Stella with your Chicken Pot pie.  How about a Taco pie with a Dos Equis?  Pies would be coupled with beer much like wine with meat.

P.S. - I know, some developer wants an underground garage, with a retail floor, a couple of floors for business and the rest housing on that piece of land.  I want the building as is running a locally owned business.  Think the community could own it and run it as a business?

According to todays article in the O, the Food Co-Op is proof a community could own & run a business!

Peanut butter pies!

They are like my favorite, and I have 2 different recipes that are both good. I'm also a big fan of banana cream pie! So if anyone reallly realllllly loves me, you know what to do ;)
