It's all about the Pie

It was a glorious summer afternoon last July that my friends Tyler, Crystal and I decided to go for dinner downtown in Fredericton to The Blue Door. All was well company was great, we were all joyous when it hit. The question --"Would you care for any dessert?" Now being someone that has worked in restaurants for the past 12 years and could have all the free desserts that I wanted I did not want the same old lame cheesecakes that every restaurant serves. I understand that if you don't work in a restaurant they are great but they are the same everywhere you go and we all decided that we wanted some good old fashioned pie. Shouldn't be too difficult. Pie is a popular dessert. Everyone likes pie, but alas they didn't have any and now we weren't willing to settle. Hey we're downtown, there are dozens of restaurants and even a few coffee shoppes so we walked into each and every one of them and as we were about to be seated in each one we stopped them and asked, "Do you serve pie"? Notta one. It had now been 2-3 hours of searching and we weren't about to go to a grocery store. That would be defeat so we did the only thing that we could...we got in a taxi over to the other side of town to Frank's Finer Diner where the owner's wife bakes fresh pies daily. Well the three of us got four different kinds of pie and just ate off each other's plates inviting the waitress to join us as we told her of our adventures. Mmm pie.
