My blueberry pie, continued:  Years ago I worked with a woman who was somewhat of a food snob and thought graham cracker crusts were low-class.  The week after I'd taken my version in to work (to glowing reviews from everyone else), she brought the same thing made with a pastry crust.  It just wasn't the same.
My mother never used a regular pastry crust for her lemon merangue pies.  She always used a graham cracker crust, which would absorb any excess flavor from the lemon filling, making it even more delish.  Pastry crusts can't do that.

How exciting!  I was just notified that I won the El Gordo Lottery of Spain (which I don't even remember entering)  The prize is 649,790.44, but strangely enough they are paying in pounds Sterling.  Oh well, money is money.

 ;D  Your description of the pie isn't very appealing without the graham cracker crust. The woman must not have liked cheesecake.

Fans of Saun and Fuzz may enjoy the UK comedy "Hyperdrive". I love shows that don't have laugh tracks.

I've just sent our copy on to DR Elmore.

Congratulations DR TCB.  Do they pay your airfare so they you can collect in person?

El Gordo is the partner of El Dano in Toronto.

There is no such thing as a squirrel-proof bird feeder.

We had one in Michigan.  It sat on a tall slippery pole the squirrels couldn't climb, far away from anything they could jump off of to reach the feeder.

We also had numerous "squirrel feeders" including one that held a corn cob.  We would replace the cob once a day & it would be gone withing half an hour.

No, I think they said if I give them my bank account number they can deposit it directly.

Did I miss a report of Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan doing the movie of "Mama Mia"?  

Probably...and I'd read that Christine Baranski is also going to be in it! :D

Heard of Lee's passing yesterday.

He really produced some great work for Duane Eddy and Nancy Sinatra and even managed a solo hit here in Oz with "The Girls in Paris".

Lee & Nancy's duets are very popular here on oldies radio. "Did You Ever" seems to be the most played.

There's a piece for you anytime, TCB.  But, you already know that. . .
In the meantime, think about a Peach Melba Cake from the Oakmont Bakery. . .

"Summer Wine" was way more successful than the "a" side (Sugar Town) here in OZ.  "Some Velvet Morning" was also a big hit here.

Those mini cakes are just my size. :)

I found a nice bakery in Friendship near the hospital.  I kept returning for little chocolate cakes with cream filling.

TD, I was shocked I had trouble finding Tasty Cakes, and when I did they didn't have the chocolate Kandy Kakes.  I have to admit the substitute from the bakery on/in Friendship were better, but I couldn't bring them home with me.
