Fall is here and a men all over the country start turning their thoughts to one thing and no, I'm not talking about football or the SI Swimsuit issue.
It's pie.
Yes indeed, fall is the official season for pie. Why is that you may ask? Well for starters, women (namely our wives) now look for ways to use the oven now that the temperatures have dropped as a nice way to warm up the house. This leads to a natural increase in pie production. Men cannot resist a warm piece of pie when it's 50 degrees or colder outside. Women know this and thus use pie as part of their diabolical plan to make their husbands do extra work.
Being used for evil plans aside, pie is wonderful. So I've decided to see what are some favorite pies out there. We are leaving individual places to get pie out of the discussion as people (as ill-informed as they may be) have their preferences of who makes the best pie. We'll just focus on the pie itself.
My favorite has to be banana cream pie. It's rich, creamy smoothness is simply divine and is a veritable Mardi Gras of enjoyment for the taste buds. I am not alone in my enjoyment of this dessert, here are what some other notable people have said about banana cream pie:
"I cannot tell a lie, Banana Cream pie is the best there is" -- George Washington, 1780
"Banana Cream pie is so good, it makes me want to scream! Oh OOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" -- Sam Kinnison, 1985
"This pie is so good it's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" -- Neil Armstrong, 1969
"Banana Cream pie essential to achieve enlightenment" -- Bhudda, long time ago
There you have it. Do you have your own favorite?

Well, it depends on what mood I am in. But I almost always get either Apple pie ala mode or French Silk. So, I guess those would be my two favorites...
I love Custard Pie. That's a great song.
Outside of Don Mclean's American Pie...
I love raspberry pie, or to be honest 'Baker's Square' three berry pie.
I get lots of cookies, cakes, etc. baked for me by the wife, but rarely a pie. And frankly I like pies best...maybe I will have to drop a few hints.
I like Apple Pie a lot, but since I can bake, I've already made about 4 of them this fall. Basically, you have to eat Apple Pie with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese. (Yes, I'm from Wisconsin.) Heavenly.
"Apple Pie without Cheese? It's like a hug without a squeeze!"
My friends think this is weird.
Also good; Blueberry Pie with good Vanilla ice cream. Oh....and Pecan Pie. Now, there is a good pie. MMMMmmmmm....pecan pie. And Pumpkin. Hell, I just really like pie.
Pecan pie would be very good with homemade vanilla ice cream and some cherry topping. I gotta go to the bathroom just thinking about it. Thanks.
LoL.
Norske Nook Lemon Meringue with the meringue piled up about nine inches. That's good stuff.
I think I'll make you a pie today... Except it's my BIRTHDAY!!! How 'bout you make me a pie??? Or buy me a pie?
