is the Pie Factory.
Mmm. Pie.
I’d walk up to the counter and order me a slice of Buttermilk, or maybe coconut.
Curse you, **Humanist** and **D\_Odds** , now pie is all I’m thinking about.

Oh, **Maureen** , you are SO going to hell for that link. I’m trying to cut down my desserts to one a week, and now I must have some Caramel Silk Pecan (and I don’t even _like_ caramel!)

The sight of that caramel-apple stuff actually made me _weep_.

Yes, but where are the buttermilk pies, the coconut pies, the peach pies?
Alas, my mother is 800 miles away; if she were here, she’d make me a pie.
Who am I kidding? No, she wouldn’t. If she made me a pie, she’d have to make my father a pie, and he’s not getting one until he loses twenty pounds and drops his cholesterol count.
Oh, if only she had taught me to make pie crusts. ☹

There used to be a retaurant called “The Pie Plate” (I think) in West Farms Mall in Connecticut. I thought it was a chain, but after a quick google I can’t find a trace of it. It was gooood. It had kind of a diner feel to it, and they had tons of really good pie. To an eight year old, anyway.

What’s a buttermilk pie?
I’ll swap you a maple syrup pumpkin pie for a buttermilk (I love buttermilk - straight out of the carton)

While I don’t like pie much…
buttermilk pie sounds divine!

😃
If I have to work two blocks from the place, you all have to suffer with me, dammit. I swear, I gain weight just driving by.

There’s a coconut cream pie. Heaven, too. The peach pie… they usually do seasonal pies, so peach pie is usually August/September. They do both pie and cobbler then. I’m drooling. I need to go make a pie…

I made a buttermilk pecan pie for Thanksgiving. Divine! And I can’t make piecrusts. I used a frozen Marie Callendar’s piecrust. It was tasty! And very flaky.

Buttermilk pie is yummy. It is sort of a creamy custard pie. Alas, my mother has not made one for a long time. (Stupid Weight Watchers… making her eat right and exercise, and depriving my father and me of pie.)
Alas, I really don’t like Pumpkin Pie, unless it’s the one my sister made for Thanksgiving. Pumpkin Praline, that wsa pretty good.

Pie are square?
No. Cake are square.
Pie are round.
That site is pure evil.
I love it.

I remember, years ago, a place in California called Bumbleberrys. Not sure if they still exist or I spelled it correctly. And in the West they also have [Marie Callendar](http://www.mcpies.com/pies.htm)’s. Of course around here we have the [Village Inn](http://www.villageinnrestaurants.com/our_restaurants/pie_features.html), where we get our French Silk pie every year for Thanksgiving.
But there is a [Pie Factory](http://www.florida-secrets.com/UniqueEstablish/WCestab/WCSpotlight/Pie.htm), it’s about five miles from me. They have pretty good pies, too, and I’m fairly sure you can get some to eat in along with a decent cup of coffee. Let me know when y’all are in town, we’ll go get some. You can even get some to bring back.

Point? _POINT???_ _shakes head_. Young lady, you were woefully neglected as a child. Pie is happy. You cannot be miserable eating pie, any more than you can be miserable eating ice cream. Pie can make it, in some minor way, better. Whatever you’re craving, there’s some sort of pie to satisfy it. Goes perfect with coffee, milk, even egg nog. Pie is the world’s most perfect food. Add a scoop of french vanilla ice cream, and you have heaven on a plate.

If you don’t get the point of pie, then someone is eating your pie before you get to it.
I always eat the point first.

I clicked on the Bakers Square link. Apparently, the closest location is Akron. ☹

But where is the Saskatoon pie???
The best pie place in the province closed down not that long ago. It was on the road to Fort MacMurray and the ONLY stop on a long drive, but it closed down. ☹
