Something completely different...

[Dancin-feet]

I don't know why I thought of this.... and it's way off topic....
I've had cherry pie, apple pie, peach pie, blueberry pie, banana cream pie....
but I've NEVER had Pear pie!
Has anyone had it?
It sounds wonderful, and for some reason I've got a hankering.

It is wonderful Tom, and it's right up there with Pear Jam!

I am liking the thought of pies! I was just given some cherries and so I will need to bake a pie- I wish the tempurature would cool off a bit though.
Pears are a bit sweet so you need just a wee bit of pie. These cherries are the sour kind so you gets to eat a bigger piece of it!
Happy pies!

Maybe we just need to come up with a better name for pear pie.

Hmmmmm

What would duct tape man say?

[Dancin-feet]

Now how can a PEAR pie be renamed? Just does not seem right

Bartlett pie?

Now you're thinking.

All else being equal, let's say that Pear Pie is just as tasty as the traditional pies you mentioned, Tom. Assuming that is the case I think Pear Pie is lacking the marketing appeal the other pies enjoy for one simple reason: it's name.

Just say it out loud everyone: P E A R    P I E.

No offense to the pear, but when married with "Pie" the two words together just don't sound that nice.

Perhaps Pearhead can weigh in on the subject.

Oh Billy, you dirty, dirty boy.  I read this about three times without getting it, so then said it out loud.  Not only did I get it, but the other guys in the cubes around me got it also.

Duk Tape Man would say "Bake me a Duk Tape Pie!  And bring me a Tecate!"  That's what he'd say.  Where's his manners anyway? 

Actually, we could have Duk Tape Pie at the potluck next year!  Or we could have Pear Pie and just call it Duk Tape Pie.  That'd make DTM happy and also no one would be embarrassed if they happened to turn to a fellow Festivarian and say "Excuse me, but would you like a slice of my Pear Pie?" 

It could be a Duk Tape Pie Bake-Off!

I love that idea, where or when can we add another event.  That's it, we all just have to get there two weeks earlier and stay two weeks later, that should give us enough time to have a Duck Tape Pie Contest and a Cry at the Bridge event (that was mentioned on abgat.net forum.)

Bevin, I love your picture sooooooooooo much.

Courtness, I’d be happy to make you a hoochie-mama to Bevin’s pimp-daddy…

Just say the word. I am “working” from home today and am COMPLETELY unsupervised!

FYI: the best pear pie I've ever had/made was from a magazine article (I think Sunset or Better Homes & Gardens) - it had fresh pears and a ROSEMARY and WHITE CHEDDAR crust, and was absolutely to die for. 

I think I still have the recipe if anyone is interested.

PS - I would give 20% of my potential future lotto winnings to anyone who can tell me how to make these pages load faster from my school computer - I don't have any trouble at all w/ the speed of "regular" internet pages loading, but for some reason, my computer hates the Forum
