Blueberry pie report

If I could only eat one more slice of pie before I die, blueberry (warm) (with a leeetle scoop of really good vanilla ice cream) would be it. I'm thinkin' a blueberry pie will be just the thing for the 4th of July. I'll serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a single raspberry or strawberry on top to complete the red, white and blue effect. Heeheeee!

You're very welcome, Ginny! I'm really glad that daughter was happy baking it dad were happy and proud eating it.

Congratulations! I can imagine how happy you'll be.

Sorry, the pie is for AFTER the funeral.

OH yes, my family is twisted enough to make sure that they served all of my favorite foods at my funeral reception!

I didn't read your original request till after fathers day was over.

How wonderful that your daughter made the Blueberry pie for her Dad! Blueberry pie has been a favorite of my husband for years, Here, Santa even gets blueberry pie and milk instead of the usual cookies on Christmas eve. (we always told the kids that it helps keep his beard white)

My almost 40 year old made blueberry pie for her Dad too... and she was thoughtful enough to alter the recipe and use "Splenda" instead of sugar...

Maybe your daughter has begun a tradition of many years of "Blueberry Pie"

They sound Jewish!

Thanks, Rina. Santa at my house gets beer and beef jerky. The oldest was told when he was little that Santa was overwhelmed with milk and cookies .......sorta a tradition now.

I'm sure you know the joke, but:

Mom made all her own arrangements! Told me what to serve - "Littlesandwiches, and some punch - not too sweet!" Even handed me her typedobit, and specified which papers to run it in... Dave

LOL!

That's the joke I was referring to. Back in the fifties, that was a Jewish joke.

My wife is twisted: she tells her friends that I'll be bringing a date to her funeral.

A Middle aged couple had just finished meeting with their lawyer to finalize estate, family trust, and personal wills. On the way home, as they were driving quietly in their car, both were reflecting on their lives and the future. The wife turns to her husband and says " Dear, if I die before you, will you get remarried?"

The husband, after some reflection, and with both hands on the steering wheel, responds while looking straight ahead, "Yes, I probably will because I cannot see living the rest of my life alone." The wife then responds in a huffy voice, "Well if you get remarried, will you still live in the same house?"

The husband, after careful thought responded, "Yes I think so. I really like that house and we have done a lot of remodelling to make it just the way we wanted it." The wife, more visibly upset responds, "Well, if you get remarried and live in our house, will you keep the same bedroom set?" The husband, again after careful thought responded, "Yes, I really like that bed. You know how solid it is, and how much we have enjoyed sleeping in it together."

The wife, really upset now, says, "Well if you get remarried, and live in our house, and sleep in our bed, will she use my golf clubs?" The husband, without much thought responds, "Probably not............. She's left handed."

Wayne, could you repost your Blueberry Pie recipe?

I managed to miss it!

Thanks, Alan

...who is enjoying being retired....

===============================================

When my MIL was terminal, but still had her faculties, she joked with my SILs husband who has an ebay business to put my FIL on ebay to the highest bidder.

Yumm! That sounds delicious. It would make for a wonderful tradition too.

I make a Key Lime Pie with chocolate cookie crust for my FIL for Father's Day each year. Last week we went north for a visit... I took a bag of Key Limes and made 2 pies for him. YUMMM!! I was distracted buy a few of the goings on and discovered a delicious accident... From now on I will be squeezing one or two of the limes directly into the egg whites, prior to whipping them for the meringue! Don't know why I never thought to try it before. It gave the meringue a nice flavor lift.
