I'm going to have a couple PIES on hand on Election Night. Who's With Me?

[NYC_SKP]

Key Lime, Banana Cream....

Election night will be pie night, pie for everyone!

:party: :party:

(Edited to add PIE!)

[lapfog_1]

1. Sweet Potato...seems to be Obama's favorite. - n/t

[NYC_SKP]

7. I don't care for sweet potatos but maybe they're better in pie?

They MUST be, anythings better in a pie!

[Lex]

27. they taste very much like pumpkin pie to me

[DeschutesRiver]

28. I don't like sweet potatoes cooked traditionally; probably wouldn't like the pie either, BUT

I found something wonderful to do with them. Peel and slice them very thin, saute them in butter and fresh garlic until crisp.

YUMMMMMMMMM! Like an addiction. One day I am going to try to dehydrate them to get sweet potato "chips" - or deep fry.

As for the pie for election night, I like the idea. I am leaning to blackberry pie, but I haven't had a banana cream pie for years, and I used to really like those.

Otherwise, peach and cream pie. Okay, maybe all three.

ETA: I have used both yams and sweet potatoes for the garlic crisps; can't remember which I liked the best. Experiment!

[RevolutionStartsNow]

32. "Sweet potato chips" are how I got my kids to eat sweet potatoes

I included it as a dish one Thanksgiving, and they loved it. I just sliced them really thin and cooked them in olive oil, I haven't tried it with garlic, that sounds great!

Since then they have learned to like all kinds of sweet potato recipes -- our current favorite is cubed sweet potatos drizzled in olive oil, sometimes with onions, baked in the oven for about 25 minutes. Soft and yummy!

[rateyes]

2. Pie and champagne.

What a combo!

[endarkenment]

3. Pecan Pie and Key Lime and Apple Cranberry!

PLUS I SCREAM!

[fed_up_mother]

[NYC_SKP]

10. Ah, a most acceptable pairing on this night of nights!

[BlooInBloo]

12. I might just have to get over my general aversion to pie for THAT one!

:rofl:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

16. HELL YEAH!!

You definitely inspired me with that one - I'm totally get blueberry pie and champagne for election night!

[goodgd_yall]

46. YES!

Blueberry happens to be one of my top favorite pies too!

[murray hill farm]

13. Ummmmmmmmmmm!

Great idea! But they are all sooooooo good...which one to choose? Pumpkin is yummy. Chocolate Cream is my favorite. Blueberry does sound like a good color choice..hehe! Anyway, I am with you on pie.

[bunnies]

14. Whats with all the threads about pie?!

:shrug: I've obviously missed something.

[eShirl]

19. sometimes Obama goes off on a brief tangent about what kind of pie he'd like to eat

he must get hungry on the campaign trail

[NYC_SKP]

20. Bunnies!

Hey girl!

Over the past week or two, while Palin and McCain have been frothing at the mouth at their stumps, Barack has taken to telling these stories about pie, how he likes pie and what pies different people like.

I think it's been a way to diffuse the negativity and highlight his being above the dirty talk, and maybe it's an allusion to (yet unexplained) to "American as" and "everyone get's a piece of" types of rhetoric.

I love it, especially his not engaging the crap.

That's about it! :hi:

[bunnies]

29. lmao! Thanks for schoolin' me.

I've been stuck and the office and missing the stumps lately. :cry:

This is great! :bounce: I too love pie! What kind goes best with champagne? :hi:

[NYC_SKP]

31. Any damned pie you like!

That's the American way, choices for all, a slice of pie for everyone!

:bounce:

:hi:

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

It's a little story about the economy:

[Yes We Did]

15. I'm making a Lemon Cheesecake

& an apple crisp pie. Mmmm....

[LaydeeBug]

17. I'm making Thanksgiving Dinner, for I will have a LOT to be thankful for.

I think a turkey breast instead of the whole turkey, but mashers, homemade stuffing cranberry sauce, the works.

[NYC_SKP]

23. Thanksgiving comes early this year!

[eShirl]

18. good ol' tourtiere

French-Canadian ethnic food
(double-crust pie of finely ground pork, potato, onion, spices)

[NYC_SKP]

34. How exotic!

Yum!

[zulchzulu]

24. Hootchie Koochie Pie!

Hootchie Koochie Pie!

* 1 baked 9-inch pastry shell
* 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar, divided
* 3 tablespoons cornstarch
* 1 1/2 cups cold water
* 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
* grated zest of 1 lemon
* 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 3 egg whites
* 1/2 pound Humboldt "Purple Max" Cannabis, unseeded and ground

Preparation:
In a saucepan combine 1 cup sugar with cornstarch. Gradually stir in the cold water until smooth. Stir in the beaten egg yolks. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, and continue to boil and stir in Cannabis for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in the lemon peel, lemon juice, and butter. Cool. Turn into the prepared pie shell. Beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually beat in 1/3 cup sugar; continue beating until stiff peaks form. Spread the egg white meringue mixture over the fulling, sealing to edge of crust. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool and store leftovers in refrigerator.

:smoke: :think:

[NYC_SKP]

26. It's the "grated zest" of one lemon that gives it the "pow"!

Am I right? :evilgrin:

[Kaleko]

40. Now you've done it!

The munchies are driving your readers to forage in their cupboards as we speak.

[L0oniX]

25. Ire ..I will have me some gangia to smoke de splif

[Beacool]

30. I don't get it.

I must have missed something along the way. What's with all these pie threads, what's it about?

[NYC_SKP]

33. Beacool! How are ya?

As I explained to bunnies:

Over the past week or two, while Palin and McCain have been frothing at the mouth at their stumps, Barack has taken to telling these stories about pie, how he likes pie and what pies different people like.

I think it's been a way to diffuse the negativity and highlight his being above the dirty talk, and maybe it's an allusion to (yet unexplained) to "American as" and "everyone get's a piece of" types of rhetoric.

I love it, especially his not engaging the crap.

That's about it! :hi:

[Beacool]

36. Hi Pooch, how are you?

Thanks for the explanation. I missed the talk about pie. Frankly, I'm a little OD'd on the election, I can't stand to watch too much of it anymore. This darn thing has lasted almost 2 years.

[NYC_SKP]

37. We are all good!

Ginny just came back from the parlor, all fluffed up until tomorrow, when she'll look all scraggly as normal.

You're smart to stay away for awhile, it has been a while and too much of it is crazymaking!

We vote, we win, we continue to participate, we rebuild a better world, leave it a better place or the little ones.

That's all that matters.

That, and hugs! :hug:

[Beacool]

39. Yep, that's about it.

I'm sick of the whole sorry mess. The country is in the crapper and every politician is pointing fingers at each other. Well, guess what? They are ALL responsible for this mess. After all, our Democrats had the majority in Congress for the last 2 years. There's plenty of blame to go around.

Hopefully, things will get better once Bush leaves through the doggie door.

Hugs to you and Ginny!!!

:grouphug:

[Tribetime]

35. I'll have a piece for each state he wins 30-35 small pieces

must have several pies though to wash down the champagne

[WheelWalker]

38. Soda cracker pie for the Thugs!

[paregdem]

42. We're All With You!!! Don't ya think you'll need more pies? There's a lot of us out here : )

Pies on election day, Pies on Inauguration day! Can't think of a more appropriate food to celebrate Barack Obama's Presidency with!

:party:

[NYC_SKP]

Sounds like a good idea!

[NYC_SKP]

48. Their Key Lime is Heaven...

It's heaven, I tell you!
