Smoke Day?

All I have to say is that I pity the fool who tries to bring a dessert to Pie Diva's fest.

Would ice cream for Pie ala Mode insult the Pie Diva's sensibilities?  I can skip it if you prefer.  I just thought I'd share some Graeter's ice cream with my friends, but I'm not looking to put anyone out or upstage the star of the show.

Buddy, you feel free to bring ice cream if you wish. 

Dear Contingent,
We regret to inform you, that we will not be able to attend Smoke Day this year.
Mark & Nina & Sam
 

We'll miss you CSD.
 
One week away folks, the count down begins.

So I'll be in Pewaukee on Saturday, Iowa City on Sunday, and Oregon, Illinois, on Monday.
 
Time to buy stock in Cooper Tire, folks.

I think I'll make the coucous salad I made for Passover this year- it was a big hit!

Thanks abe, I look forward to trying it.
 
For anyone needing directions, send me a PM.

I had lunch with JRPfeff on Sunday at Greasewood Flat and he was going over the menu with me. All I can tell youze attendees is come hungry 'cause you'll be eatin' pretty high on the Hog!

And down the middle of the beef....

Saturday is my niece's birthday, so we are kind of iffy...
we really would love to see everyone tho- 
so I'm trying to wiggle in a couple of hours...

Elaine,
 
It is possible to consume a lot of meat and/or pie in a couple hours.  Happy birthday to niece.

What the heck is a Baltimore Bomb Pie?

Regretfully, I will probably not be attending this year. 
Sorry, and I'll miss you all. 
 

JRPfeff-
I think I had Baltimore Bomb Pie at Dangerously Delicious Pies.  It is made with Berger's cookies.  Let me see if I can find a photo.

Right you are Buffetbuster! With the exception that I have to make the cookies.

You still haven't seen our NOLA inspired kitchen.

Wait, you're still having pie without me!?!
 
All sound very interesting and delicious, but what in the Sam Hill is crack pie?
 
Wait, I saw that it is Nutella Crack Pie.

Sounds like the Bubba Gump Pie Company!
Seeing this list and understanding a little bit about your family and current situation, I had an inspiring thought!!!!
Gazing into my Marketing Crystal Ball, I see a "Pie Diva - Pies on Wheels" FOOD TRUCK in your future!!!
Take your future into your own hands!
Google Baked Pie Food Truck and get a "taste" of what I mean. A number of them went from Trucks to B & M.
Early Spring to Late Fall in Wisconsin and Winters in AZ.
It's the same concept I helped The Lobster Lady with.
She summers in Maine and Winters down here.

I know you're busy prepping smoke day, but let's talk next week!
Talk the Pie Truck Idea over with the Contingent and get their opinions since some of them are in the food business.

I envision a business plan that parks the Pie Wagon somewhere in Gilbert each night during the Winter season.

NO!NO!NO! I'll look like Fat Albert if you do!!!

Pies are beginning to emerge from the oven.
 
Fake (i.e., homemade) "Berger's" cookies.

What's the weather forecast for tomorrow?  Rain early and late but with the afternoon being relatively dry and cool?

I heard it will be raining pie all afternoon!

That sounds like a plague of Biblical proportions!

Excuse me but that is the most beautiful picture of a meringue marshmallow pie I've ever seen.
See ya tomorrow.

Could you be so kind as to recap the hours of the festivities
and PM me the directions in case we manage to swing over for a while?
(most likely with frosty beverages in tow if we do...)

Elaine,
 
The party runs from 2:00 until dark.  I'll PM the address.
