and so it starts-the catching up that is.  so many pies, so little time to spend here sharing them.  first, let me say that it is wonderful to be able to share those pies.  after 3 weeks of wallowing in the whole robbery drama, i am now connected and secured but damn, i’m still mad!  i lost 10,000 photos and tons of files as well as one fantastic camera.  but, i need to move on…

so, first up is a personal favorite, shoo fly pie.  it even comes with its own catchy little song, “shoo fly, don’t bother me!  shoo fly, don’t bother me…”  just don’t ask me to sing that too you.  the inspiration was a trip to pennsylvania and a chance to roam antique stores with my mom.  i was up there to appear on qvc and if you like, you can watch my appearance on “in the kitchen with david” here.  what an amazing experience that was and david is every bit as nice and friendly as he seems on tv.  but, i digress, while out hunting with mom, i spied a nifty little pie dish and it came with a recipe for shoo fly pie-i had to give it a try.

 as you can see, there aren’t any clear directions and the amounts are a bit sketchy too.  but i managed to figure it out and forged ahead with the plans.  something so simple, so easy and believe it or not, quite tasty.  however, being in the south, i used sorghum rather than molasses and for anyone who wants to make this, i suggest you do the same if you can find it.
