My daughter asked for this kind of a pie for her last week in Oregon. She is now off to Walt Disney World for the next several months and then plans to move to New York City.
For this week's decision on who to give the pies to, I decided to post a picture of my pie on Facebook, and take pies to the first couple of people who replied who lived close enough.
One of the first people was my neighbor down the street. I had to try to get her a pie twice, because the first time she wasn't home. I gave her a little bit of a hard time about that. But she had to get her daughter to dance class. When I was finally able to drop it off, she was home alone. She said she ate some as her dinner.
I told the other person I could bring her a pie, and she offered to pay me for it. She hadn't read my blog to see what it was all about. She was surprised that I was giving away pies! Her family was quite happy to get a pie, and we talked Scouts for a while.
