“Mama, what kind o’ pie are you makin’?” Jimmy asked.

“Lemon meringue, your Daddy’s favorite.” Mama replied

“But I’m tired of lemon pie. Can’t you make somethin’ else?”

Mama ginned. “What would you suggest, Jimmy?”

Jimmy shrugged. “How ’bout mac & cheese pie? Don’t that sound good?”

“For dessert? I don’t think so.” Mama laughed. “Normally we use some kind of fruit.”

Jimmy thought for a minute. “Okay, I got one! How ’bout Tangerine pie, or even Baked Alaska?”

“Jimmy, that’s just plum silly!”

    That tangerine pie looks delicious. I could just eat a piece with either ice cream, custard or fresh cream! Thanks for joining in Susan. Great take.

      I had no idea tangerine pie was a thing. Now, I’m going to have to try it! Glad you liked my post. :-)

        I make crumbles rather than pies, but it does look yummy, so maybe I’ll give it a go too.
