In lieu of pumpkin pie
I’ve never been a big fan of the pumpkin. Now, I’ll be the first to state that they are rather lovely as a fall decoration or as a means to satisfy my need to hollow out fruit, carve it into an odd design, and plop a candle inside, as a turnip lantern substitute.
But turn it into a pie? bleck.
See!? Even the pumpkin says “bleck! don’t make me into pie!” This is assuming you are wearing your imagination caps and can envision the stem as a nose.
Where was I? Oh right.
No. Even though eating pumpkin pie may be a holiday tradition, I prefer to fulfill my holiday dessert calorie intake another way.
That would be the chocolate silk andes mint pie. It may not look as pretty in the pic as I had hoped, but let me tell you, with a little heated chocolate fudge sauce drizzled on top. *smacks lips* Can’t be beat.
Best eaten with a spoon, of course (one of my personal preferences that I mentioned on Squirl’s blog recently).
I know someone who needs a piece of pie right now. If you are in the mood for a funny story, go read how Sara spent her Thanksgiving evening.
LadyBug says:
That sounds YUMMY!
And I totally had my imagination cap on! What a funny pic!

Squirl says:
Oh, that looks sooooooo good. I’m an equal opportunity pie eater. Except for coconut pie. I have no problem discriminating against coconut anything, blech.
And I saw that face with its tongue sticking out before I read your line.
Anyway, hope your day was great!

Danielle,
You are clever. That picture made me laugh and smile.
MMM pie.
I’ve never been a fan of pumpkin pie, either, but this Thanksgiving, I had some wicked tasting pumpkin pie. mmmmm.
But only before I had a chocolate pie, of course.

Ooooohhh girl. I wish I had a piece of that stuff right now! I saw that punkin go “bleck” too

Do you have any idea how I feel about chocolate and mint together? Do you? I’m CRAZY about them, that’s what! YUMMMMY! Please share the recipe!

Yummmmmmmm! That pie looks so good.
I’m not big on pumpkin either, but I tried some Pumpkin Cheesecake this year that was pretty dang good!
