We are not allowed to eat pie in my house. My wife can't "see through it."

Alright...I'm starting to think all of this nonsense about your wife is a joke.


Can't see through it? What type of nonsense is that? Is this rule exclusively for sweets or does it transcend all food boundaries?

Sorry, but I'm not imaginative enough to make this stuff up. It's real. My wife will not eat pie because she cannot see through it.
Me: But you eat cake and meat and you can't see through it.
Her: Different consistency. Pie is like Jello. I can see through Jello.
It makes perfect sense.

A dollop of Cool Whip on each of these 3 pies is an absolute necessity

Cool Whip is disgusting... nothing but artificial chemicals and sweeteners. Using Cool Whip instead of real whipped cream is just a big of a travesty as using margarine or oil spread instead of real butter.

I worked with a guy that started out as a fast food, bacon and cream cheese junkie. He turned into a pretty good cook as he got older. He says the turning point was the day he realized Cool Whip tasted like shite.
