Pie Day Confession

3/22/13 "Pie Day".......not Pi Day 3/14 or National Pie Day 1/23)---not even  like the Thursdays of old when Molly and I baked pies to take to folks who could use a lift. No....this is an I could "eat a whole pie" kind of day. I'm a pie kind of gal. I do like a good caramel cake (for the icing) and a coconut cake but given my "druthers," I would choose pie. Today was filled with a few self imposed deadlines as well as calorie counting for hubby and trying to "eat" well for both of us. That's all it takes---thinking I'm going to be deprived, I crave something sweet to eat----hence the desire to eat an entire pie.

Last week's drive home from Disney World had us stopping in New Albany, MS at Sugarees Bakery---to buy a chocolate meringue pie, made with 1 lb. of pastry, 3 lbs. of chocolate filling and 1 lb. of meringue. Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

A pie you can sink your entire mouth into---while "sinking" your entire weight plan. But....they also have a smaller one. Hm-m-m- is it worth the drive??  Probably not---but the memory is sure "sweet."

This entry is in no way spiritual unless the old adage, "confession is good for the soul" is true in a bakery!
