PIE LOTTERY
Thanksgiving is my birthday. I am doing holiday pies for Thanksgiving.
And no one can stop me.
Me: Mommyyyyyyy, you know what I want for my birthday?
Mom: .....yes?
Me: A hundred dollars.
Mom: .....for?
Me: To mail people pie.
Mom: ...................................
What. Don't give me that look.
Twelve lucky recipients will be receiving pastiera from moi. It's an Italian grain pie, that bakeries really suck at making -- my family's recipe is how pastiera is meant to be. It takes three days and about twelve hours of labor to make, and was passed down from my grandfather's little old grandmother in Naples or something like that. Trust me. It's amazing.
There are two pies up for grabs in the batch -- ten have assigned recipients already.
So this is a PIE LOTTERY. I will put the names in a hat of anyone who comments and is not already on my pie gift list. Continental United States only, please. Customs limitations means I can't ship out of country.COMMENT AWAY.
Edit: Twelve people is probably enough for the lotto. DRAWING NOW, comments frozen.
