Strawberry pie OR Strawberry Rhubarb pie?


I saw a piece of Rhubarb in this pie!!! Is this a blooper or should I just consider getting a life?

I think you should pride yourself on your powers of observation! :)

Lol...I think you should consider doing stand - up. Your wrap up in this question tells me your a quick - whitted-smart- ass just like me! Lmao ?

THANKS! But I have to be completely honest. I have seen this film about 30 times this year on VHS which gives me the advantage of rewinding back a few seconds to check the details!

Your occupation of the "Thinner" boards has been a worthwhile campaign.

That always bothered me about the novel. There's no such thing as warm strawberry pie. Strawberry-rhubarb, on the other hand, does feature cooked fruit.

Are you serious? Pies of all kinds come in different temperature states! Right now I can go to my local supermarket and get right on the shelf a Strawberry Rhubarb pie. I can go to my local bakery and do the same! What are you talking about?

reply

I don't understand what buying strawberry-rhubarb pies at the bakery or store (even though what you say about it is absolutely true) has to do with our disagreement (if we have one). But I'm sorry I apparently wasn't more clear about what I meant:

Pie made from uncooked strawberries (without rhubarb) in the USA is prepared cold, stored cold, and served cold. With no top crust, and stored and served like a cream, custard, or meringue pie. Purchased from the cold case in the store or bakery.

A pie that features cooked strawberries generally also has rhubarb in it. (And yes, it cools off after having been cooked, though it can be reheated.) You aren't likely to find a 100% strawberry pie of the cooked type.

How tf you watched this 30 times in 1 year? Do you not have anything else to do? Get Netflix, got damn.

CONFESSION:
I have seen it more like 50 times this year not 30! When I get home from work this past year I have flipped it on a few times each week. Can you offer me any psycho-analysis that can help me? I'm serious. I need to lose weight but have not lost a pound all year. I thought this movie might help. Now that I confessed this to someone I will now leave the library computer and go home to try again, that is, another viewing. I'll let you know of my progress. I'm going to keep a chart on the wall citing my weight loss.

You must be joking!

Sadly, I'm not joking at all but I tossed out the movie VHS and gave the DVD version to my narcistic (spelling error with this last word!) sister who is jealous of the young gypsy granddaughter's looks. Even more sadly I put serious thought into purchasing the VHS just last week, no kidding. Its all rooted in extraordinary emotional & psychological abuse as a kid. I never get hungry anymore because I eat when my stomach is open enough for more food. I will conquer this soon, hopefully.

What the hell is wrong with you? Seriously, I'm asking.
