“Charlie brought by several pie samplers. Would you like one?” mom asked me. “They have a big slice of chocolate, sweet potato, lemon merengue, pumpkin, egg custard, and pecan pie.”
“Goddamn, don’t y’all ever sleep?” I could hear my father say in the background.
OMG! My heart leapt up in my throat at that prospect. That sounded like a slice of heaven indeed. Pun intended. No one loves a piece of pie more than Charlie does. I am right behind him at a close second. I felt like I had won the Georgia lottery.
I drove over and got the very heavy box and brought it home. I just savored one of the best pieces of chocolate pie I have eaten in a long time. What’s next? I think I will eat a piece of the pumpkin in a little while. It certainly gives more meaning to the term pie hole as in shut yer pie hole..

Good God it’s Grocery Day…
Yay! It is grocery day! And guess what? I am up to my same old antics. Actually, buying groceries is one of the more unsavory and laborious things I do every week, but lately, these past few weeks, I have been rearing to go.
Like a broken record, I am getting the fixins for my spaghetti and meat sauce. I tell ya, I am fueled by spaghetti and chow mein noodles these days. I am going to try a differrent recipe, though. I am going to add two cans of Hunt’s tomato sauce this time. I will also add two cans of Del Monte diced tomatoes with onions and green peppers. I am debating on whether or not to add a small can of Italian style tomato paste. Mom always added a few bay leaves to her sauce and I may pick up some tonight and try them. She also added Broiled in Butter mushrooms to her sauce occasionally and that would be neat to try.
I found a new way of eating my Pop Tarts and milk last week. I loosely crumbled up the Pop Tart in a glass of milk and enjoyed it! It really is delicious. You eat it with a spoon just like cereal. Add two Pop Tarts and it is even better. That’s the thing I look forward to most this grocery day. You know me. I love my sweets. It is amazing I don’t weigh 300 pounds like Kevin “the homeless guy”.
Next week, I have decided to prepare Janice’s, Charlie’s wife’s, vegetable beef soup for a much needed change in venue. My father is going to write it down for me. I think I put it on the blog a long time ago. I can’t find my index card where I had it written down.
Do you crumble up your cornbread into your soup before eating it? Oh man, that is so delicious. A good dollop of Louisiana style hot sauce is delicious as well.
