Pies Men Like

[Faith_Machine]

Hello ladies,

It kind of gives me the willies to be in here, but I just wanted to pop in for a moment and heartily recommend the following book, which I happened to find at a rummage sale:



If you're really interested in serving your husband a slice of pie he'll truly appreciate, you can't go wrong with this book.

There's only one copy left on Amazon, though, and it's a little pricey at $653.32, but I figure maybe you could all pool your money and share one copy.


Another possibility is that if you had a particular pie in mind, you could always write to me, telling me exactly which kind you wanted to serve your husband and how you wanted to serve it to him, and then I could check the book and see if there was an appropriate recipe in there.

Which I would, of course, e-mail back to you.

Say, um, none of you are on your "lady time" right now, are you? I think I'd better just get on out of here right now...

Re: Pies Men Like

Thank you Brother Faith, for bringing this valuable book to our attention. Much like the Bible (KJV1611), no doubt its price reflects the value attributed to the long forgotten old ways – certainly before the so-called modern "nutritionists" started corrupting our diets.

I would like to express one reservation. I have a particular aversion to "meringue" (captioned on the book cover). I find this dried and crusted foamy white substance to be unappetizing and recommend that all Christian women avoid baking pies that incorporate meringues.

Re: Pies Men Like

Isn't "meringue" also the name of some Mexican star from olden times? Carmen Meringue was her name, I think? I know it's something Mexican. Probably best to keep a close eye on it.

My dad loves creamy pies, like this:




I bake one every week for him

Re: Pies Men Like

I don't trust cream. You shouldn't either.

Mmmmm, mmm! That does look like a mighty fine cream pie!

Just the other day, my neighbor's wife called me over to sample the cream pie her husband had given her. It was quite delicious. It was store bought, of course (honestly now, a man baking pies?), but it was still good. I told her she was lucky to have a husband who loved her enough to give her cream pies, and that I felt very blessed to be able to have a taste.

Re: Pies Men Like

Oh Faith I would love to have you try my cream pie!! I think you would just love it!

Re: Pies Men Like

I must warn you I do have a hearty appetite! One slice probably wouldn't be enough for me.

Re: Pies Men Like

I heard some of the Pastors enthusiastically gabbing about "hair pie" but it just doesn't sound very God-darn hygienic to me

[ditzygurl83]

Re: Pies Men Like

Oh Faith, you are welcome to have more then one slice. You can eat all my pie if you want! And SUV, my daddy has told me that some people do like hair pie, but he makes sure that there is no hair anywhere near my pie! He says nothing worse then getting hair from hair pie stuck in your teeth! Just stays with you all day he says! So we make sure that no hair comes from my pie!

Very fine, Sister; very fine.

Keep up the Good Work and I am Certain® that one of our Godly Men will be along soon to do something about that unGodly name and "unsaved trash" designation

Re: Pies Men Like

I'll let you ladies in on a little secret. Less crust, more jiucy filling.

Also, as long as the pie is hot and dripping, we are not that particular about the type of pie as long as it is not sour.
It should be firm enough to not run but certainly not dry.
Several choices are always a good idea.
There is little a man likes more than a good spread. Whipped cream is often a plus.

Re: Pies Men Like

I'm not much for this forum of cackling hens and try to avoid it whenever I can. I surely get enough every day with the nonsensical prattle of Mrs. Porter.

But I might add that the aroma of the pie is quite significant in appealing to the Christian man's hunger. I've often been told that the pie is very tasty, but my nose disagreed. If it doesn't smell just right, I could care less how it tastes. Just for what it's worth.

In Christ

Re: Pies Men Like

Oh I am sure to keep my pie just the right amount of juiciness. Not too much crust, just a little mound. And juicy enough that it doesnt' drip all the time but after you're eating it some may run down your face a little bit.

This must be what's giving so many of our Pastors that "five o'clock shadow"
