Wasn’t me, but whoever did this just might have a pie cutter within their possession – ya think? I mean look at that carving job, looks like they intentionally carved out a clock set @ 8 o’clock p.m. in that pie just to get your attention? One can only wonder about the fate of the other 60% of that pie. 🙂
Okay, I’ll confess I did it, but I did it for all of you, see? Well kinda, sorta. See what happened was I had to visit a grocery store for a single item. That’s never a good idea, I even said to myself on the way into that Tom Thumb “let’s see if I can walk out with just one item”.
Background: I’m working on a home improvement project where drywall contractors left texture spackling on a couple of small windows and now I needed to scrape it off. I thought some white vinegar might help. So I headed for a neighborhood grocery store for only one thing, white vinegar. So I walked in [innocent enough], and you know how they make you pass by all the goodies before you can actually get to what you really [really] need? Yes, well that’s what happened. No, I was altogether and doing fine, way in control of my future, my little eternity, when out of the blue my eyes caught a sizable display of lemon meringue pies. Those bastards I thought, they knew I couldn’t ignore them didn’t they? I almost did [ignore them], my feet wanted to keep walking but my tummy said wait just a minute, those look good! My feet went a couple steps past the pie stacks while my brain turned us and me, including my feet, around.
I picked up a pie thinking “this won’t hurt, why not?”, but the crust had a broken area in it so I set that one down and grabbed another one with no imperfections, then grabbed a large container of white vinegar and proceeded to check out. Later that night I’m ready to invade that pie and to my surprise I grabbed the wrong pie that second time, the one I brought home was a chocolate pie. I was so bummed! [The lesson here is never grocery shop without your glasses on?] So that led to the next day when I went back to that store to get a lemon meringue pie this time, and I did. Pictured is what is left once someone, anyone really, leaves me unattended with a lemon meringue pie… it’s 8 o’clock somewhere right? 🙂

What about a pony, I have a Meta pony for sale?
Back to taste buds, the evil twin of the male anatomy. I love merengue pies, chocolate, lemon and even apple fritter merengue pies (you get the picture). Impossible to dislike the tartness of lemon and the sweetness of chocolate. Then the ever present ice cream aisles filled with buy me whispers from beautiful Angel’s. It’s on the way to the produce section. Can you truly remain monogamous to a single sweet? Now, I’ll let you finish the evil twin part…
My taste buds have been known to leave home for awhile before… I’m not sure how the lemon meringue thing started, was probably 3-4 years ago. I did write on FB about my love for them. When I was a kid I had my Mom bake cherry pies for my birthday instead of cake. I’m still not into cakes, maybe German Chocolate, or cheese cakes with cherry topping.
Side stepping the “Evil twin” of the male anatomy? LMAO!
Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d
figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or
vice-versa? My site discusses a lot of the same topics as yours and I think we could greatly benefit
from each other. If you’re interested feel free to send me an e-mail.
I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
No thanks.
