2. No, but...

...when served in conjunction with apple pan dowdy, it makes my face say hi and my stomach say howdy!

3. I think a good business idea is to design baking pans

in the shape of a variety of shoes. Shoe pies could become very popular. :D

5. Here is one - I don't know how good it is. Try it and tell us

It sounds like the filling of a Bama Pie without nuts.
In hard times dead flies can be used as a substitute

Shoo-fly Pie
1 cup flour
3/4 cup Brown Sugar
1 heaping Tbsp Shortening (blecch. Use butter)
1 cup molasses or dark corn syrup
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cup boiling water
1 beaten egg

Preheat oven to 375.

Mix flour, brown sugar and shortening into crumbs. Split the crumb mixture in half. Set the one half aside for crumbs.

Pour the Syrup in the other half of the crumb mixture. Mix the baking soda in the boiling water. When this fizzes, pour on top of the syrup/crumb mixture. If the soda/water doesn't fizz, you didn't get your water hot enough or your baking soda is bad. Dump out water and try again. Pie won't rise if it doesn't fizz. Add 1 beaten egg. Mix with fork.

Pour in unbaked pie shell. Top with crumbs.

Bake in preheated 375 oven. Bake 10 minutes. Don't open the door, turn oven down to 350. Bake an additional 30-40 minutes.
