Pie Time

So it's fall, which is the only season that tempts me to indulge in pie. Pie hasn't always been a go-to dessert option for me, as sometimes the sauce of pies seems to sickly sweet.

BUT I'VE BEEN REFORMED thanks to a slice of heaven also known as Hoosier Mama's Sweet Cream Pie.. LORD have mercy!!!!

i sit here with my mouth open, drooling.... gahhhhh

Other than the first/last/only slice of key lime pie I had in South Beach, Miami... this pie... rocks my world. OH MY GOD it's that good. (Umm... disclaimer: the first time I had a slice of this amazing pie, I was three cucumber martinis and 2 pomegranate margaritas deep. Just as an FYI, although I'm sure this won't change much as this pie still rocks my world.)

Although I know that anything that comes out of the Glut with Guts kitchen won't compare, I will dedicate some time this month to makin' and bakin' a unique pie creation of my own. Ingredients to be determined... but I can guarantee the grating of some nutmeg will ensue....

Another thing that puts me off from pie is.. the goopey. (Is goopey even a word?) The way the guts of the pie ooze and gooze all over the plate, seems so... off putting! When a pie comes to me with the crusts beginning to smoosh together as the insides ooze out the sides, any appeal the pie might have had beforehand is gone. (Also note: Hoosier Mama's Sweet Cream Pie doesn't ooze.. maybe that's why I like it so much?) Anyways....

Enter Sur La Table, cookware/bakeware/utensil-dream heaven. [enter singing angels] The other day I found at my local Sur La Table:

EL PIE GATE... o

Yes indeed, the genius minds at Sur la Table now bring you THE PIE GATE, the device to keep the guts of the pie where they belong. Between the crusts! Ingenious inventions and gadgets like these made me wish I had me a suga daddy to replenish these requests. [daydreaming ensues...]

But until then.....

Your broke bloke-ette, with a gluttonous gut,
