cherry pie. it must be the greatest of pies, because y'know....that song they did. blueberry? what are you, a commie? i humbly present you the classiest of bitches: if i went through the apparently minor trouble of convincing her to take her panties off, and happened upon a set of instructions....i dunno what i would do. follow them? leave? double bag it? what a cunt-nundrum.
one time i ordered two chocolate chip muffins from dunkin donuts because they are glorious. usually i would start eating at least one of them on the way home, but no, i was going to savor them (i.e. hide from the family) when i got home. the tops are just a little crispy with huge granules of sugar...hold on, i need a moment.... anyway, got home and the bitch gave me blueberry. not even close to satisfying my cravings. i think i shed some tears as i ate them. yeah, blueberry sucks.
ive never been a huge fan of the texture of cherries, i did have some amish cherry pie the other day and it was great. still for my money the best non pumpkin pie would be key lime pie. pumpkin if my favorite but really it never feels right eating it in the middle of summer, a very seasonal pie.
i'm partial to fresh maine blueberries, in pie, pancakes, jam and beer. particularly when i am actually in maine, and the blueberry goodness has been preceeded by lobster or clam chowda.
pecan pie is my favourite dessert ever in the history of anything. i would eat pecan pie out of rosie o'donnell's vagina if i had to.
an excellent point. i suppose if i had to be served a dessert in such a fashion it would have to be red velvet, as it's enhanced by cream cheese flavour. i literally just shuddered while imagining that. fuck.
oh yeah? that peach i sliced up last night and threw on a frying pan to caramelize a bit on the sides begs to differ. fried peaches and vanilla ice cream. yes. i'll take my grandma's pecan pie too, before curling up into a food coma. no love for pumpkin pie here? that could be my favorite, drowned in a massive dollop of fresh whipped cream.
