Pie Anyone?

In honor of homecoming week, there are several random activities (mostly involving food and prizes) on Brigham Square throughout the week. So, my friend Dustin decides to compete in the pie eating contest. Although I wasn't a first hand witness, his account of the race makes my chuckle . ..and want to hurl at the same time. He recovered from his banana cream pie by throwing up multiple times over the next 24 hours.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch . ..well, at my apartment, anyway. A few weeks ago, I bought this huge bag of apples that was on sale. I like apples, but I haven't been eating them nearly fast enough. On my counter was this bag of apples going bad, and in my freezer was pre-made pie crust, compliments of an earlier Heidi/Rebecca adventure.
Hence the genesis of my apple pie. It didn't look extremely wonderful, but Heidi and I had fun making it while quoting While You Were Sleeping which was playing in the background. Once the pie was finished, I took it over to Dustin's apartment to present to him and his roommates. He wasn't home when I got there, but Jory, Matt, and John and I delved into the pie with glee and gladness. It turned out pretty tasty, if I do say so myself. Upon Dustin's arrival, he declined having any pie, so I offered him my banana instead. Those boys are hilarious, and I definitely decided I should go there again soon . . . .

I like those random activities in Brigham Square! Today I got a free t-shirt and some candy. Woot!

ooo-EEE-ooo!

PS - that line about the ranch was an allusion to "Hank the Cowdog." I'm such a literary expert. That's what happens when you read lots and lots of books.

I wasn't in the mood for any more pie, "not today, not tomorrow, not ever!" as I told Rebecca the night before. What she didn't mention was that the pie I ate was banana cream.

When she offered me the banana, I burst into laughter.

way to resist more pie, Dustin. Welcome to the Blake family weirdness, aka Becky's blog.

Ahem, Emily . . .are you calling us weird? And, as for Dustin resisting more pie . ..well .. .at least he did then. Although, I think he has this thing for pie-eating contests . . .
