What shall I bake for the Martha Stewart pie show? I had such grandiose ideas of different ways to create a poetry pie, but let's face it, we're flying 1,500 miles to get there, and it's going to be tough enough to get my pie with ... http://slicingheaven.com/?p=1558 Cooler weather, so pie shop thoughts turn to squash and spices from all eleven dimensions coexisting on the same plane of faceted pyrex.

In this case, the ... http://slicingheaven.com/?p=1533 When Sue Ten told me she was going to show Hubble on the side of the Swing Barn this week, I thought she meant Robert Redford in The Way We Were.
