Maeve I have no doubt you are a pie baker extraordinaire but let me say to Mick, Barry, Kendall, Micca, et al.................
I'd barely get out of bed for one of them fruity pies. Pie by its very nature is about as unhealthy a thing as you can get. I mean they're filled with cholesterol, butterfats, lard, mountains of all sorts of sugars...........Christ on a crutch, the damn things are death baked in a pan! But we throw some half-assed fruit in them and tell ourselves they have some redeeming dietary value......they don't!
So let's just not kid ourselves (you can't kid your heart and arteries----I know this for a fact) and let's eat some really fine pies that throw all caution to the wind and all the friggin' fruit out for the birds to eat. I'd suggest a pie that will harden every blood vessel in your body, completely occlude the coronary arteries, add an additional 12 pounds of body fat, AND rot your teeth while you are eating it!!! No need to wait! Perhaps one of you Maine folks could crank out a few of these babies before Micca leaves..........

BUTTERMILK PIE
(makes 2 pies)
Make up two of your favorite recipe deep dish pie shells or but a couple of premade....your choice. Brown them a bit before adding the filling.
FILLING:
Ingredients:
5 Cups Granulated Sugar
6 Tablespoons Flour
10 Tablespoons Butter
6 Eggs
3 Cups Buttermilk
2 teaspoons Vanilla
2 teaspoons vinegar
Combine the sugar and flour. Melt the butter in a separate bowl then mix in the eggs,buttermilk,vanilla,and vinegar. Mix well!!! Add in the sugar/flour and continue mixing.....good mixing is important.
Pour the filling mixture into the pie shells and bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes (clean toothpick check). Let cool and EAT!!!

Have a supply of antacid handy and if any kids in the area partake, some rope to tie them up is helpful too.
Enjoy (and so will your dentist)
