Oh, Pan, you silly boy.  This is eGullet: we might be embarrassed at the culinary shortcomings of others, but never by our own.  :raz:  There, feel better now?

(Wo)man cannot live by pie alone -- try as we might.  Got to wash it down somehow.  Yes, please, wine is absolutely necessary.  :biggrin:

All right; then you can count me in. I'll be bringing a wine that a saleswoman at Astor Wines was reluctant to share with anyone. I didn't buy the bottle until I was sure enough bottles remained for her.

Ooops. was I supposed to? k.

Ta-Da! Announcement:

The next semi-annual New York Potluck will take place on Sunday, January 18, 2004, in Lower Manhattan, at a time to be determined. The theme will be:

PIE: think outside the crust.

Which is not to say that inside the crust will be ignored, nor the crust itself. :unsure:

Just that if you can call it pie, it is pie. And it is good.

Watch this thread for more details. :biggrin:

I will pieticipate. I made a pie once in 1989. It was good. I'll make a fresh one for the pot-luck. Filling TBD.

Not illegal of course.

But....pie needn't be thought of as something that requires baking skills (i.e., pastry):

you could do for instance:

shepherd's pie

bread pudding

tamales

artisanal pizza

or if you really wanted to think outside the crust (heheh):

any cold weather winter food such as a stew or soup

roasted vegetables

baked ham or loin of pork ("it's just the filling without the crust, yeah that's it") :wink:

See? it's not so bad after all. :laugh:

I'm bringing a potato pie (something we kind of made up after Burger Club on Saturday -- I think it will be interesting).

And I've got something else in mind that would be a stretch to call 'pie' but we'll see...

We (at least SuzanneF and Bloviatrix) were talking about latkes, and then about how they would make an interesting crust for something -- like a pie -- and how...well...I don't want to ruin the surprise. :raz:

Oh, NEAT!! Potatoes are, after all, one of the basic food groups, right up there with bacon, steak, and . . . um . . . oh yeah, BUTTER.

You forgot the duck fat group and the chocolate group.

If you want, I can give you my Nana's recipe for Smashed Potato Pie. It includes obscene amounts of Crisco, but it sure is tasty. I recommend a Tagamet chaser.

I would love to be part of this potluck! I can bring a savory or sweet pie-type item. This will be a nice break from my academic writing, of which I'll be immersed in throughout all of January.

Suzanne, do you still need a PM from me?

And will elyse bring a pecan pie? :smile:
