Mine comes out cardboardy and tasting the way wet dog hair smells. So when I'm in need of a pie fix, I am forced to purchase it. My admiration and envy for those with mad pie-crust skillz is indeed boundless. The daughter of a true pie artist, I was born with no crust skills, to my everlasting shame.

It's things like blue cheese bacon burgers that doomed my brief foray into vegetarianism. JRoth, I don't remember "Mr. Jones". But the Six Penn restaurant, down there at the corner of (wait for it) sixth and penn is owned by Eat n Park. I haven't been there yet, but I understand it's good.

One can make chess squares with chocolate cake mix, resulting in Chocolate Chest Squares, and these are really, really good. I had no idea chess pie was a Southern thing. How tragic for the rest of you that you do not have chess pie in your life. I'm so sorry. Chess squares are also quite nice, and require no pie-crust skills.

The spinster went in for a puking disaster
