After reviewing all the pie entries, ...Dear Ms. H,<br /><br />After reviewing all the pie entries, I like the Chocolate Cream Pie the best. Aside from the pie's design and unique shape presentation, it is a simple pie to make and chocolate is always a crowd favorite. Chocolate Cream Pie is the type of pie that is perfect for any occasion all year round -- because let's face it, chocolate is ALWAYS in season. =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658051477206978865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-77003382992468940372010-06-13T23:08:09.882-07:002010-06-13T23:08:09.882-07:00Oh gosh, such a pretty prize makes me wish I had a...Oh gosh, such a pretty prize makes me wish I had attempted a pie to enter. <br /><br />I give a shout-out to the Rakoczi thingy, it looks so tasty (I so want to make it!)and the Raspberry Dream Pie (I know tofu in baked goods can be absolutely delicious, my sister has a tofu cookie recipe that is wonderful!)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634536841477161617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-77435553480197732272010-06-13T15:24:15.567-07:002010-06-13T15:24:15.567-07:00I would have to pick the Strawberry Rhubarb pie. ...I would have to pick the Strawberry Rhubarb pie.

Argh! Now, what to do? I know, I shall make another list and vote for another pie!<br /><br />So, my other short list includes:<br /><br />- “Here's to you, Harold Jamieson" Shoo Fly Pie<br />- Apple Pies and Butter Tarts and Oh My!<br />- Lemon Silk Meringue Pie<br />- Autumn Pear Pie<br /><br />From this list, I choose Leah's Lemon Silk Meringue Pie. Without a doubt, I will be attempting this for our annual Christmas Dinner with Friends soiree. For this occasion, I make three pies. One is apple for the traditionalists, one is lemon meringue for my husband and one is different every year for me. Yay, me!<br /><br />~JenJenbughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08678882957977234763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-478238371063163742010-06-12T18:11:48.624-07:002010-06-12T18:11:48.624-07:00What to do?

What to do? *sigh*<br /><br />My short list includes:<br /><br />- Mr. P's Bad Language-Free Baked Banana Blender Pie (Although, I wanted to include the bad language very badly.)<br />- Diana’s Cinnamon Yum-Yums (Who can resist a flaky crust filled with cream cheese?)<br />- Chocolate Cream Pie in a Homemade Buttery Pie Shell [yum] (It's chocolate pie, people.)<br />- Meat and Mushroom "Pudding" (A little round bundle of oozing, savory goodness.)<br /><br />So, what to do? I feel awkward about voting since I have not taken the time to bake any of these pies. However, awkwardness rarely stops me.<br /><br />So, without further ado, I cast my vote for Mr. P's Bad Language-Free Banana Blender Pie. I absolutely loved that the entire pie could be made using one appliance. How wonderful! It has never occurred to me to try to do that.<br /><br /><br />~JenJenbughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08678882957977234763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-81973554677068167492010-06-11T20:46:08.108-07:002010-06-11T20:46:08.108-07:00I vote for the banana blender pie :)

First, as some other people have mentioned, it's the most accessible of the lot, and makes one delicious dessert. <br /><br />Another critical component for me, though, was the overall blog post. All were interesting, but Mr. P made me laugh. His baking wit kept me thinking of the recipe until I had gathered the necessary ingredients. His blog is certainly a treat!<br /><br />As for my second vote, I think I'll have to go with the Shoofly Pie. There is a story behind this: my boyfriend and I decided to cook dinner for my family one night. I attempted a complex salmon and potato dish, while he decided to make the pie. My boyfriend's kitchen experiments normally turn out interesting, to say the least, but this time he took the cake (erm...pie?). While my portion of dinner was a flop, my family ate the ENTIRE pie, proclaiming it the highlight of the evening. He got bragging rights for quite awhile.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08719651353738283949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-5596547872439017382010-06-11T16:19:24.624-07:002010-06-11T16:19:24.624-07:00ah!

It is a pie crust with a layer of chocolate and topped with a sort of cakey crumby topping.It is not very sweet, but oh so satisfying. I grew up eating it, I think it originated in Amish Country. I am from New Jersey and my Aunt was from Bethlehem, PA and would always bring one for me and my sister - If you can find a recipe, I suggest you give it a try.charlene020https://www.blogger.com/profile/16973407061771073865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-59306978775804400942010-06-11T15:33:13.427-07:002010-06-11T15:33:13.427-07:00Oooh!!!

In that case, my votes are for the blackberry apple pie because it looks like a yummy variation of the usual apple pie and the rakoczi, because it looks fun and exotic.<br /><br />As we speak (or type, rather) I'm making the strawberry jam from the gluten free pie, so depending on how it turns out, I might have to change my vote. :-)Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14798746461135182925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-40273523946145709472010-06-11T14:58:18.871-07:002010-06-11T14:58:18.871-07:00Ms. Humble, your Moroccan vacation looks like a pe...Ms. Humble, your Moroccan vacation looks like a perfect combination of adventure, relaxation, and cultural exploration! To enjoy mint tea and shortbread cookies in such a beautiful place.. the traveler/explorer and foodie in me is envious!<br /><br />As for the pie contest, can I say that I'm excited (and honored) to be able to have an input? I must say that the mysterious green pie caught my attention, as well as the crumbly top of the shoo fly pie, but I think I would have to go with the chocolate cream pie made by miss Emily.<br /><br />I like how the pie is simple and yet creative at the same time. When I dream of pie I picture an apple or pecan pie, and so a chocolate cream pie is rather unexpected. And yet, chocolate is such a familiar and comforting flavor to our taste buds! It looks easy to make. Cute presentation too, I might add.<br /><br />The tea pot is so pretty!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02477132657630629248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-36308095830810348222010-06-11T13:45:45.592-07:002010-06-11T13:45:45.592-07:00I love, love, love the apple pirate ship.
