rivers of pie

got behind a sport size s-u-v on the way home & noticed its bumper sticker: «ober rivers». oooo! - i thought - a fellow outdoorsperson. i tried to get a little closer to determine what rivers these were that were advertised on the bumper. maybe something around here that i could visit. hmm.... closer.... closer.... well, omigoshi - the «s» and the «d» and several other items were faded. the bumper sticker read «i heart sober drivers». ::sigh::

you like cake or pie? those are your only choices - not ice cream, not cookies, not brownies. cake? or? pie?

for myself, i choose cookies.

no! just kidding! if the choice is cake or pie, it depends on what kind of cake or pie. the dessert table is full of potential pitfalls. every choice must be weighed carefully in the triage:
^-^ firstly, all chocolate can be eliminated.
^-^ secondly, as for pie, i am not one for any type of fluffy or merangie pie and also not a fan of the graham cracker crust. i enormously enjoy graham crackers. whole. whole crackers. not cracker crumbs smooshed into a plywoodesque substance. chess pie is a trump.
^-^ thirdly, as for cake, it's all about the icing. fluffy icing or blue icing - no. cream cheese or buttercreme - yes. white/white - yes/yes.


addendum 1 - cheesecake is a pie & boston cream pie is a cake.
addendum 2 - chess squares = chess pie.
addendum 3 - jello is not a dessert unless you are in traction.
addendum 4 - oatmeal raisin cookies take precidence over blue icing and all types of meringue.
addendum 5 - confusion of meringue and merengue will result in nothing but disappointment.
