that seems right. I think it's related to how I feel about pie v. cake, too: the best pie is better than the best cake, but in this fallen world one often gets better cake than pie.

Apples bore me lately. I can't find any good Granny Smiths. I want an apple so tart I won't be able to talk for an hour.

That said, I just has one of those amazing, perfect pears that jaymc described, so I choose pears.

just HAD

i would gladly pay a man tuesday for an apple pie today.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

apples might be better than pears in pie. I don't think I've ever had pear pie.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Pear pie sounds like it would be good, though.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:33 (seventeen years ago) link

pear pie would be full of mushy goo. Pear cobbler would be possible, I guess. But really, anytime you cook a pear you end up with something more suitable for spreading on taost than anything else.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

it's a little awkward to say, with the alliteration. but it sounds delicious, yeah.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

spreading on taoists? sounds kinky.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:36 (seventeen years ago) link

What's the diff betw a pie and a cobbler?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I'm hungry, guys. mmm, mushy pear goo.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:36 (seventeen years ago) link

The tao is the way to all things kinky and pear-flavored.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link

baked pears can be good, if they're soaked in booze and drizzled with ganache.

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Pie has a top and bottom crust, and you eat it woth a fork. It has shape. Cobbler is fruit compote with something crunchy or doughy baked on top. You eat it with a spoon.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:38 (seventeen years ago) link

cobbler=pie w/o bottom crust, right?

Note to self: buy country apples at farmer's market on Sat and make pies this weekend. Roommates will love me, house will smell amazing, breakfast covered for all next week.

I thought about starting a thread to post pictures of delicious-looking food on, but then I remembered that there are a lot of Britishes about.

...who would inevitably post things like black pudding and stewed tomatoes?

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

For folks that were at TT last night, the TASTY JEWISH DISH I was thinking of last night is KUGEL.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 8 December 2006 18:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought kugels were those little personal exercises.

It is the anti-cobbler.

No Kenan, that's kegels.

Oh, right.

I think there are classes for that at the health club upstairs.

hey, how did the game of f/m/k go? i totally would have gone to tt if i'd woken up at 4:30 instead of 5:30.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 8 December 2006 19:07 (seventeen years ago) link

We didn't get to play f/m/k, unfortch. But we did talk about some hilarious things from back in school daze... And, just in case you guys thought I was kidding about "Is internet commerce will change our lives" ... I give you this: http://www.awesomecs.com/ospwww/ecommerce/ecom1.jpg

And right now the business on the Internet has become more than you can imagine , you not just can buy or see the stuff from the Internet , you can also bidding for the stuff from the Internet.

wow, just.... man, my brain can't take it. impressive. two thumbs up, WAY UP, for that.

yay, Dan!

This is where you can start ignoring me...

I HATE HATE HATE my coworker Hemroid. I hope a reindeer sticks his antlers up her ass. My boss asked me if I knew where she kept a particular file. I looked for it and didn't see it. So he asked me to call her and ask her where it is. So I did (she's at the jobsite and at home today). She said, 'There are a few of those papers in this file, some over here, some over here... I've never kept track of that account.' So I pull this, that, and the other file and give them all to my boss who is standing behind me waiting. I say, everything is in here but it's completely random. If you like, I can call the bank and get everything from them together. He says, I might have you do that, but for now let me see what I can find in here. I scurry away.

Anyway, she just called and asked me which months were missing from the statements. I said, I have no idea. I just gave him everything. She's like WHAT?! You didn't pull out the statements from the other files?! Me - No. I just gave him everything to go through and offered to contact the bank. She - Well, you SHOULD have pulled them out. You really should. Now he's going to be upset with me for not having it all in one place!

I know. It's not my problem. It's her job. But also, IT'S HER JOB. Why is she going off on me for not doing a good enough job covering up her own fiasco? Grrr.

I love cobbler. I'm sure I mentioned I made peach cobbler a few weeks ago. It was spectacular, if I do say so myself, especially considering it isn't peach season.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 8 December 2006 20:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Speaking of it not being peach season, I have found that frozen peaches are pretty good for baking with! Throw peaches in a baking dish, sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon/nutmet, top with mounds of biscuit dough, and bake until dough is brown. Maybe at 350 degrees? It's flexible. AND DELICIOUS.

I belatedly realized I should've called you when I was racking my brain trying to remember what it was called.

That's not really gibberish, is it? This is gibberish:

(xp) Ha, not true. In fact, I tried to call my friend Aaron (I know, right?) who first introduced me to kugel in college -- but I guess I must have an old number for him because I got a "not in service" message.

No, but it's what dudes use to internationalize software, apparently (like to show that the strings can be changed for translation).
