We have "House of Pies" in Houston, at least two of them. Is it the same thing? Ours is also a diner type place that's open 24 hours. Great food and they have been here as long as I can remember.

Next time I'm in Houston, I'm lookin that place up.

My aunt Katherine's "candy pie." I have the only copy of the recipe. :)

It involves a graham cracker crust, cream (skimmed from the milk - not easy to find), eggs and little crumbled bits of chocolate.

It is served only at Christmastime.

Mine are "da big two": Apple and Pumpkin. On occasion, I'll go Key Lime or French Silk, but if you wanna see some serious pie appreciation, make it apple or pumpkin with a big mound of whipped cream.

Oooh, I like the sound of that! (Did you see that "notorious candy pie recipe" that was making the rounds recently, that had 2000~ calories/slice due to consisting mostly of Snickers bars and heavy cream?) :rolleyes:

Agreed! Nothing can top my mom's apple pie with some melting vanilla ice cream on top, except maybe my mom's carrot cake. For some reason I can never exactly reproduce either recipe. Pumpkin pie is simple enough - I'm happy if it's from a can! Squash pie too.

If you're ever in the Los Feliz area (in Los Angeles), go straight to the "House of Pies" on N. Vermont Avenue and order a slice of their strawberry cream pie. Unbelievably delicious!

The pies are okaaay. I go there for late night coffee every once in awhile.

BTW, that corner of the street was on Double Indemnity.

I had a delicious (and huge) slice of peach cream pie at Rio Concho Cafe & Aviation a couple of weekends ago. Rio Concho is a tiny little diner at a small local airfield - one of those places that the locals all frequent. People literally fly in just to buy their pies - thus their motto - "Pies to fly for." lol

I love making pies. My favorite is apricot, sometimes I add blackberries to it. I love to eat lemon meringue but I don't make those myself.

Oh, wow. Pie.


1. Key Lime. Fantastic, fantastic stuff. Definitely my favorite.
2. Apple pie. Homemade this stuff is crazy good.
3. Cherry.

There are many, many poor pie imitations out in stores. The homemade good stuff can't be beat!

Strawberry Pie with a loooooooot of whipped cream
Swedish Almond Pie is super-yummy, too....
