I wish you hadn’t mentioned pie. Now I want one. A Shoo-Fly pie. A good one. Not the kind you buy at a grocery store, the one that an older Mennonite mom makes for the Fellowship Dinner at church….

You know, I have never had a piece of shoo-fly pie. And I grew up in an area where there were many Amish/Mennonites.

My mother, a 100% German farm-girl, was a hell of a pie and cookie maker. But she never made them or pecan pie. I’m thinking they were just too sweet for her tastes. I think she did make all the others but her cream pies were to die for. Her fruit pies were pretty damn good, but she killed cream pies of all kinds.
