PIE

I love tasting new foods when I travel. Of course, I don't always know if the quality is up to snuff, but if I can go with a local they'll tell me!

I was thinking about this today. In Tainan, YiJie knew his milkfish, Rachel knew her eel noodles and Isla knew cake. In Taichung Jean had me try olive icecream. Allen knew where there were beef noodles in Taipei. All good.

I was tempted to ask my characters but the vamps started to chant "blood, blood, blood" until Thoom shoved a garlic pill in front of each of them. Czeszniak took one look and pouted weakly about cookies...

Me: PIE

I'd like to try every type of pie offered along the truck routes in Pennsylvania. Incredible variety from shoo-fly pie to raisin custard, merengues to sweet-potato.

My mother made a mean apple pie until she put my father on a diet.

She knew how to make crust. Simple you say? I tried and failed. She made cinnamon-apple so I tried apple-clove (and failed). The ginger-pear came out good. My best was a cherry pie I made from scratch without measuring.

I don't make pies now but I have a russet potato that has turned its starch into sugar ... I'll figure out something.

So, give me a year to taste every pie, then give me another year to go back and judge them.
