3.1415... oh wait, wrong Pie!

I know what you are thinking. "Another dessert recipe, Kels? When are you going to make some food that isn't terribly bad for you??" WELL, to answer your question, probably NEVER, because as I have mentioned way too damn many times before, I LOVE SWEETS. The featured dessert of this post is pie. Pie has a stigma of being super American and awesome, and it's easy to see why. Who couldn't love a bunch of sugary fruit tucked away in a lard-filled, flaky crust?? The superior grocery store in town happened to have blueberries on sale last week,  thus Mom and I decided that a blueberry pie was necessary. (Side note: When I say the superior grocery store, I am obviously referring to Fareway. I'm not sure if this is Midwestern thing or not, but people generally tend to show strong loyalty to either Fareway or HyVee. I have to be honest and admit that we do shop at HyVee, but only on Sundays or after 9:00 PM because Fareway is closed at those times. But seriously though, FAREWAY FOREVER!) Back to the main topic. The making of the delicious blueberry pie was a three man effort. My wonderfully awesome Mama Struck made the filling, which will be linked below.

 I made the "Dutch" topping, which is your basic combination of flour, brown sugar, white sugar, and butter. You can probably find it on the internet somewhere but I just used one from an apple pie recipe in a cookbook. It's literally my favorite part of the pie besides the crust.

 The crust was made by our wonderful friend Mr. Pillsbury, because let's be honest, making pie crust is hard work, and.....

So yeah I guess most of the credit goes to Mom because she took the Pillsbury pie crust out of the box and made it look all fancy like.

Then you pretty much make it like a normal pie. I have no idea how long it baked, but I would be willing to assume that it was somewhere in the 20 minute range. Then you let the delicious concoction cool and eat it with Vanilla Ice Cream. That detail is very important, and must NOT be skipped.

So yes, that was our Friday night adventure in making a blueberry pie. Here is your before-promised link for the pie filling:

Gee, making this pie and blogging about it was such a ..... thrill!! Hahahaha, I love lame joke references. And since I made the lame joke reference, I have no choice but to link a video of the wonderful "Blueberry Hill" by Fats Domino. Stay classy!
