So my super-amazingly-fun-friend Megan F. holds a pie contest every year in her home in Sacramento. I was there for the first pie contest (I think it was the first one, anyway). And then the second. Every year, it's gotten bigger and bigger. Now it's a huge deal. Everyone comes and there are sooo many pies. Even if you have just a half-bite of each, you still leave with a huge stomach-ache, craving water and bacon (and anything else that might help your system dilute the sugar). But the tasting itself is heavenly, and therefore totally worth the stomach-ache...
So this year's Pie Contest is Sep. 17th. Megan F. suggested I fly up for it, and I accepted her invitation. I'm also going to see my law school buddies Megan S. and Rebecca, who both just got done with their respective world travels.
Back to the Pie Contest though. I need a recipe. One that's going to kick butt at this pie party. I've never even placed before. The closest I've come is being engaged to Brian when his cobbler won in the "That's Not a Pie" category. Megan S. has already thrown down the gauntlet and threatened to annihilate us with something from her Mormon-bred, from-scratch arsenal of recipes. I now turn to you, the citizens of Blogville to see if you can help me rise up and win the Pie Contest.

Good call, HK.
you pose a question like that to the pampered chef girl? I will find something for you.....
You should be thinking about the Non-Fruit Pie division. Ali and I have already won the Fruit Pie division.
Non-Fuit Pie is good too, though.
Claudia,
my chocolate chip-bourbon pie is the best pie on earth. Seriously. For reals. People who hate pie like this pie. I'll email you the recipe. It's easy to make.
I use those Pillsbury roll out pie crusts, but if you want to win a contest, you may want to consider a homemade crust. I'm sure you can find one on the internets.
Sorry Claudia...wish I could help. The only thing I like is Cheesecake! YUM! But I suck in the kitchen! My son though just made an awesome apple pie from scratch that he wrote down while watching the cooking channel on TV...maybe you should watch more TV?
Remember the pies in Revenge of the Nerds?
SC-Who's picture would be on the bottom?
Can I have Todd's recipe too? I have a bottle of Maker's Mark that I have no idea what to do with.
I'm a fan of the pecan pie but have never sucessfully made one. I vote for making Todds burbon pie thing. If you have to do a "trial run" pie, I volunteer helping you eat it.
Wait- How are you going to get a pie on a plane?
Cool. Thanks guys. I will definitely test-run the bourbon pie.
Shannon - the pie party is on a Sunday, so I can make it when I get there. They have grocery stores in Sacramento. Or so I've heard.
"We need to get these motherfucking pies off this motherfucking plane."
You're retarded. :-)
Randi - I may need a demonstration of Pampered Chef's pie-making tools.
Shannon, you totally made my day.
