A Random Wednesday Conversation Starter

OK, this may be a lazy one, but: cake or pie?

Pie, unless you have carrot cake.

Oh man, what a choice! I love BOTH! But if I have to choose just one, pie I guess. There are so many different kinds of pie - fruit pies and cream pies and I like most of them.

Pie. Well, not mincemeat, but any fruit pie. Though carrot cake IS appealing.

And the question is so lazy that I think I'll steal it and use it 6 months myself.

May I remind his majesty that cake is the food of which revolutions are born.

A hearty Shepard's Pie for the good people in my shire will be promised and never shall I let them eat cake.

homemade chocolate cake > wild blueberry pie > hot-milk sponge cake with caramel icing > Coconut cream pie > chocolate cream pie > apple pie made from real apples > pie from homemade mincemeat > maraschino cherry cake > buttermilk or custard pie > spice cake > lemon pie > raisin or other dried-fruit pie > any pie made with canned pie filling > carrot cake > "hummingbird cake"> any cake made from a box mix

So it's complicated. Depending on how hungry I am or how fat I feel on a given day, the cut off line between eat/won't eat falls anywhere from homemade mincemeat to raisin pie. Anything above that I will PROBABLY eat, anything below that, probably not.

Hummingbird cake is supposedly a southern favorite, but it makes my teeth curl up and scream because it's too sweet.

Carrot cake. You may recall having carrot cake at my wedding. Unless you didn't. Glad to see carrot cake getting some love.

Chocolate, chocolate-chip is nice too, but I do love pie.

Damnit. Now I want cake and pie, just as I am approaching losing 25 pound in three months...
