I'm not a fan of whoopie pies... way to rich for me!!

But I do love homemade apple dumplings! Best from the farmer's markets!

Have you ever had shoo-fly pie?

RE: can you really call it an accident??

I was thinking the same thing. The only reason for not walking away is if someone has a tight grip on your hair.

I was just wondering what dishes are popular where you live. I live in PA Dutch country. We eat PA Dutch chicken potpie... NOT in a shell. It's made in a big pot, with potatoes, homemade bows, chicken, & carrots... sometimes.

We also make ham, green beans & potatoes in a pot. Kind of like a soup/stew. It's DELICIOUS!!

I'll be back with more. Meanwhile, what are some of yours?
