I just made a fantastic (and easy) apple pie the other day, ita. Trader Joe's sells frozen pie crusts. Sans pie plate. You just thaw the crust, put it in your pan and fill.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mr. Kipling's apple pies are a thing of their own, Spidra. They don't occupy the same conceptual space as a standard American apple pie--completely separate craving and satisfaction. They have the same pastry as the traditional English store-bought mince pie, for starters.

I remember when I first saw those charts on Craig's List. Best m4w ad EVAH!

Those are fantastic, ita!
I'm just sort of antsy today. Go to party or no party? Stay at home and watch Everwood DVDs and brave the goddamn Best Buy for my digicam back?
open a bottle of wine?
