Ask a pie girl....

We here at pie central get all manner of pie queries. I reproduce one below with my response, for the benefit of the greater pie community.

Dear Ellen,
Since you are my favorite, smartest, funniest, most awesome cousin, I throw myself on your mercy and beg you to share your pie wisdom with me. What pie does one take to a Indy 500 party? I only wish that I could be as wonderful as you,*
-Cousin Lee

Dear Cousin Lee,
After much consideration, I stick by my original suggestion of a Hoosier pie. Alas, Nascar does not seem to have a traditional pie the way that the Kentucky Derby does, but at least you can make a nod to the great state of Indiana. You may need to put on a pot of coffee to go with this though - beer and brats followed by a mostly sugar pie may be a bit much. As to being as wonderful as me, well, more pie will surely help.
-Ellen

Pie Girl

While your Indiana pie recommendation may have been a good fit for the northern portion of the state, I found that the blackberry cobbler was a better suitor for the Indianapolis 500 event on Sunday. Thanks for your response and good luck throughout your odyssey.

I approve of blackberry cobbler. Excellent choice.

Don't worry Sues, we compete for the role of favorite cousin in different geographical groupings, and each win in our respective regions.
