What kind of pie do you like?

American Pie

A long, long time ago... I can still remember how
That music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance,
That I could make those people dance,
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.

But February made me shiver,
With every paper I'd deliver,
Bad news on the doorstep...
I couldn't take one more step.

I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside,
The day the music died.

Soo..Bye, bye miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die

Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock n roll
Can music save your mortal soul
Then you can teach me to dance real slow

Well I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Then I dig those rhythm and blues

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
but I knew that I was out of luck
The day the music died

I started singin'...

Bye, bye miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die

Now for 10 years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But that's not how it used to be

When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
In a voice that came from you and me

And while the King was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned

While Lennon read the book of Marx
The quartet kept practice in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died

We were singin'

Bye, bye miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die

Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with the fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast

It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast

Now the halftime air was sweet perfume
While sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance

'Cause the players tried to take the field,
The marching band refused to yield.

Do you recall what was revealed,
The day the music died?
We started singing

Bye, bye miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die

There we were all in one place
A generation lost in space With no time left to start again
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candle stick
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend.

As I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that satan's spell

And as flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw satan laughing with delight
the day the music died.

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away

I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play

And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken

And the three men I admire most
The Father Son and Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died

They were singin'

Bye, bye miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good ol' boys were drinking whisky and rye?
Singing this will be the day that I die
this will be the day that I die

--Don McLean

I am making chocolate mint pie...NOT grasshopper pie, which is pukey...but chocolate mint pie...yummm...



Mmmmmm....I was just craving chocolate too! :p
 
Apple crumb or chocolate cream...key lime too...LOVE cheese cakes though.

Make a chocolate raspberry cheesecake that just makes you moan with pleasure when you have a bite.
 
In the words of Dwayn "The Rock" Johnson, I prefer a great heeping slice of Poontang Pie.

However, when such delight is not available, I like apple pie a la mode.

Don't think I can't see through this shameless attempt to get into my knickers, you.


I don't have a thing for blondes. To every rule, there is an exception. Keep talking. Jersey City is none too far from Ho-boken. ;)

Definitely key lime pie, with lemon meringue coming in close second.
 
Blueberry, Apple, Apple Cobler, Peach... French Silk. Cherry (yes, the pie).

Ice cream, whipped cream...
 
I think hogjack just likes pie. I'm particularly fond of crust so put me in the cobbler category.

If it has to be pie, then I'm a pecan girl. What did you expect? I'm Southern, after all! We like our nuts down here.

I'm a Southerner too Rambling Rose but I was never too fond of pecan pie as I am of pecan pralines. However, I once dated a woman who could make a killer pecan pie. She made one for me to take to my job's Christmas party once and everyone devoured it.
 
Mmm pralines! GuyJD, there used to be this place on North Carrollton in NOLA close to City Park that made the creamiest pralines and the best crawfish pie. Trying to catch this place open wasn't easy but so worth it. The last time I was there she had up and moved with no forwarding address on the door.

That was a sad sad day.
