In honor of the election and in celebration of the idea of change, I thought I'd do something different and make a green tomato pie. Okay, I admit it, this is really just the intersection of election day and the arrival of green tomatoes from my csa, but still. I did want to make a pie for this very special day, and since I'm taking it to work, I thought it would be a bit much to make an overly partisan pie. Once the election is over we'll definitely have to make a pie to celebrate those candidates of ours who made it into office.So as I was making up the green tomato pie, I thought hmmm, this seems familiar. And then I realized that the recipe was very similar to the mock apple pie that I made for April Fools. I wonder if this is going to taste somewhat like an apple pie? I hate to say it, but I think that this pie has a high chance of being disgusting. Green tomatoes, lemon, cinnamon and sugar don't seem like an obvious combination. Perhaps I won't tell anyone what's in this until after they've eaten it...
Well, have a very happy election day; I hope that the lines at your polling place are long enough to give historic levels of voter turnout, but not so long that you are waiting around all day. I won't ask you who you are voting for, but will ask: if you could make a pie for any current or historical presidential candidate, what would you make and for which candidate?
