I made an apple pie this afternoon. At dessert time? Nobody wanted any.

WTF, family?

Have you had any other warning signs that they've been replaced by pod people?

I'm sure it's because whatever you made for dinner was too delicious.

Since you have extra, pie, though ...

Pre-emptive strike in anticipation of losing mittens?

Come on down! You might want to bring your own vanilla ice cream, though, because we're practically out.

People at your house turn down pie?

Maybe they're getting horribly ill? Incoming stomach bug is the only situation I can imagine that would make me turn down apple pie (and even that would not work on my husband, I don't think).

Um, I'll take it! ;) Or trade you some banana bread for it.

Wow. What did you make for dinner that was so remarkable?

We had takeout from the Indian place: chicken tikka masala and pishori pasanda. It was indeed delicious, but none of my doing.

I have no words.

Homemade apple pie?

Yum.

I *love* apple pie for breakfast.

When I was growing up, we got dessert after every lunch and supper and never any other time, completely controlled by Mum. When I became a parent in a family who had started off with sensible attitudes around food, I would bake my mum's recipes of dessert-is-love and would be astonished (and hurt) to discover that when they were full, they knew they were full, and they wouldn't eat pie just because it was there and someone else might get theirs.

That's a roundabout way of saying that although it's astonishing (and probably frustrating for the baker), it means that your family's full of self-regulating eaters. Which is a good thing.

Meanwhile, can I trade you a piece of pie for a chunk of Cheddar?

The only thing that is keeping me from typing, "I'll be right over," is the fact that it's 9:45 pm and I'm sure you've all gone to bed.

You make *good* pies.

In my case, that plus a few hundred miles. Pie!!!

Extra pie

Was it poisoned or something?

Oh my, someone else who knows that story!! :D I loved it as a little girl. :)

(What story, you other folks may ask? "Three Little Kittens" I believe it's called.)
