probably, but I think we'll keep it to eat on friday when it's just the family and not serve to guests!

Oh. Dear. Disturbance in the Force indeed. *pets*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I don't know what happened. It looked fine when I turned it half way through baking....

I'm kind of glad I bothered with the cookie sheet and tinfoil right about now though

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

I was thinking that the tinfoil was a very good thing. *nods*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I haven't peered under the foil to see if all the mess is contained.... I have hopes though

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

What's shoofly pie??

Distract me?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

it's a southern pie, not something I've made often but I wanted to do something other than our traditional pumpkin pie this year. It's either made with molasses or cane syrup (like my recipe) it's very sweet and gooey

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

It sounds like it should have currants in it. You know, like squashed fly biscuits?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I think it's called shoo fly because it's so sweet and attracted flies. or something. I dunno. I don't think I'll be making it again

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

I went and Wiki'd - it doesn't seem to be the most 'definite' recipe on the planet...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Yes! I blame the recipe. And the position of the moon. And my cat. And, and and... *sighs*

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

And the position of the moon

*falls over laughing*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

hey... it can effect tides and werewolves and ummmm....

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

AND???

Must go to bed soon

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

you see the moon's gravitational pull caused the liquidy center to swish slightly to the side and jump out of the pie pan onto the cookie sheet. Not my fault. Not at all.

My son has problems with quantuum flux variations moving through his bedroom and affecting his doona, causing it to mysteriously fold itself over inside its cover. Sometimes it's so bad I have to spread it out on the floor and crawl inside to get it straightened out.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

aha! Yes! those quantuum flux things got in my oven and messed up my pie! that was it!!

[k-haldane.livejournal.com]

And I'd like to point out that this is still happening after I sewed velcro patches onto the doona and inside the cover, in order to fasten it down at all four corners.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

it's a conspiracy. evil sprites or elves out to get us

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

oops.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oops is right!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Somewhere, Dean Winchester is weeping right now.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I hang my head in shame

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

He'll forgive you if you bake another.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

unfortunately I don't have the supplies. And I'm NOT heading to the supermarket now. I do have a lovely double layer pumpkin pie though.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. I can't blame you.

I think a pumpkin pie is acceptable.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

And I have some homemade brownies I made for the Bat mitzvah and froze because they didn't get eaten so I defrosted them. brownies and pie=yum!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Ooo! Definitely yum!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

and messy disaster pie to eat when the guests go home

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I nibbled some of the overboard goop before wrapping it up. Still tasty!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It usually is, even if it doesn't look so pretty.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

luckily when its just cooking for ourselves, pretty doesn't matter as much

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

That's always a good thing.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

taste is more important than looks or presentation, right?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Right.

[tintop-lizzy.livejournal.com]

I read it as shoofly pie, like a sort of "shuffle failure little thing" pie. Shoo (space) fly sounds ergh in comparison.

Everything looks better with sliced fruit on top of it...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

:)

it won't come off the tinfoil so I'm putting this pie in the 'lost cause' category.. or at least "not for guests" category...

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Maybe it was the moon (though there's no or almost no mood right now I think!) but maybe your oven is protesting after it was worked so hard getting ready for the bat mitzvah. *g*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

ocen protests. That's an excuse explanation I can get behind.
