RUN, MUPPET, RUN! The yarn'll only distract him for a couple of hours!

*buys more yarn and starts making pie, since the muppet tends to be slow on the uptake*

*stops in the middle of de-pitting a bowl of cherries*

Hmmm. Hadn't thought of making a string pie for kee kat. Would be less trouble, and might be more distracting than cherry pie and a basket of yarn.

*puts cherries aside and dumps yarn into pie crust*

is there a recipe for that?

Filling:
7 balls of string or yarn, unraveled
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon zest, finely grated
2 tablespoons butter, softened

Pastry for double crust pie:
2 cups flour
2/3 cup lard or 2/3 cup butter or 2/3 cup shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
cold water

Directions:

1 Combine flour, lard and salt with a pastry blender or fork until balls are the size of a large pea.
2 Add cold water by the spoonful and blend until the bowl starts to clean itself as you work the dough.
3 Divide dough in half and roll into two circles/
4 Preheat oven to 450°F.
5 Combine unraveled string with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon rind.
6 Line pie plate with unbaked pie crust, trim pastry, crimp to edge of pie plate. Fill pie crust with string mixture and dot with softened butter.
7 Brush crust edge with water and place pie crust top on top of pie, crimp to the bottom crust. Make some slits in the top crust for steam to escape. Bake for 10 minutes.
8 Turn oven down to 350°F and bake for 45 minutes longer.

I have missed you all so very much... the internet is now working in my apt... thus, the apt is now almost perfect.... even tho the connection is the farther one and now I have to move my desk... but.... apt is very close to perfect.

:)

And I'm trying to find that darn video where the dog just shows up in the newsroom during a broadcast... anyone see that?!?

A dark, evil place.
I'll pass. I swallowed a string once. It wasn't a pleasant experience. Especially coming out.

Oh, yeah. Del and qW. My favorite. :D

They're nice and tender. I've had them marinating in the urinal for weeks.

Anyone else want some? :) There's plenty.



*wonders if this kind of home cooking only flies in the Cabaret*

*after all, there are so many flies in the Cabaret, no one notices a few more*

Don't swallow it all ... in a day or so you can tie the two ends together them stick post-its to it for internal distribution of your brilliant thoughts.

Of course!
