@-j. My prescription for you, sir, is to never forget what makes you so special. I offer in your honor a Torta Pascualina - a Jewish Argentinian savory pie just perfect for spring time. Enjoy. http://www.jewishfood-list.com/recipes/vegn/piechard01.html
@jambery Yes, I have that problem too. Because I am lazy. The best way to have pie if you are lazy is to have someone else make it, or to bake a fruit crumble. It's stone fruit season now, so chop up a few peaches or plumbs, rub some sugar and butter and flour together and drop it on top, ignore the dishes while it bakes. You'll love it. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Fruit-Crumble-105249
I have a dilemma. Grad school starts for me at the end of August, with the first week ending Sep. 2 (no Friday classes). I'm going to guess there will be some cohort bonding over booze after class. Should I do that, or should I go see Lady Gaga?
@Muppy Gaga, for sure. You'll have plenty of time to bond with the other students, trust me. I almost wish I had done less of it, since I now realize most of my classmates were nuts. Speaking of nuts, and booze - your pie is a Pecan Bourbon Pie. Just show up to the first study group with one of these and you'll have no problems being popular. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Pecan-Bourbon-Pie-236254
I don't need pie, but advice would actually be nice. You can see my current thread for additional info. Well, I mean, I'll TAKE pie... but perhaps personal pie? Private pie? Both of those things sound pervy :(
oh DrMizSarah- how do i put myself on the correct path to inner peace and tranquility? i feel like i keep missing it and wandering off into the wilderness!
omgomgomgomgomgomgomgggg. congratulations! i had no idea!!
and yes, i would like a pie prescribed, please. i've been stressing out with work, working more overtime, and meanwhile anxious about taxes and visas, being that i'm living in japan, a citizen of the us, and i'm going to be going to the uk for school. i've got a lot on my mind and i find it difficult to fall asleep at night, and even more difficult to wake up in the mornings.
@emily Ah yes, I just saw your thread. I'll note you privately. But for now, you sound like you could use a comforting pie. I recommend you keep up your strength with a chicken pot pie. Warmth and comfort are what's needed now. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/chicken-pot-pie-recipe/index.html You can't go wrong with Ina Garten, but if you feel lazy it's okay to replace a homemade crust with store bought puff pastry.
@Little p You know, for inner peace and tranquility I usually prescribe baking bread instead of pies. There's something meditative in kneeding dough and waiting for the yeast to awaken and breathe. But this is my pie thread, so I'm thinking we should up your potassium levels. How do you feel about a banana cream pie? http://www.momswhothink.com/pie-recipes/banana-cream-pie-recipe.html It's easy, it's sweet, it's medicinal and if you don't feel calm after a few slices, just think of the joy you can get out of throwing the rest of it at people who are bugging the hell out of you.
@nomi oh my Yes, girl. I know your particular brand of crazy. And you know my opinion on it too - you got it going on and all that needs fixing is the selling. Therefor, your pie is all about sex and glamour. Get out your best dark chocolate, the stuff you've been saving for a bad night, and turn it into a French Silk Pie. http://pies-cookies-squares.suite101.com/article.cfm/chocolate_french_silk_pie_recipe Then invite someone cute over to help you eat it.
oooh, thank you! This particular recipe may be above my skill level, but I'm definitely looking forward to the next time someone can partake of my pie.
@FiZ Gosh, yours is hard. Recipes I can do - gallery space is a little beyond me. Well, I do have a second hand contact at a coffee shop in San Francisco, but that's it. What I do have is a great recipe for a bite sized pie that looks great on a open house reception table, and it's brightly colored for good photographs. Your pie is mini fruit tarts. Dress them up or down, as you like, and keep on being happy. http://www.sinbadsweets.com/Recipes/RecipeMiniFruitTart.html
@hoyden Hello sweetling. Boy, you sound like you can use some love from home. Now my first instinct is to prescribe you a good old fashioned American apple pie with a cheddar cheese crust, but then I remembered how expensive fruit is in Japan. So here's a very American pie that you might not have heard of. It's called a lemon chess. The ingredients are pretty much eggs and butter and sugar and a lemon, which you can get for a few bucks. Plus, it's easy and really really tasty - trust me. http://www.outofthefryingpan.com/recipes/pie.chess.beard.shtml I'll bake that apple pie for you next time you come home.
oops - sorry guys. I was offline last night and missed these last few. Let me get you some pie to help with that.
@emily Aargh. Sorry about that. Might I suggest you substitute portabella mushrooms for the meat and veggie stock for the chicken - it'll be even better.
@Skanko There is only one pie that works to satisfy my cravings, and it's Cherry. Canned filling won't do - you need to use real sour cherries which are hard to find anywhere except for Washington in August. Still, it's so wonderful this pie is worth waiting for. http://lizjohnson.lohudblogs.com/2009/07/03/recipe-how-to-make-a-great-sour-cherry-pie/ This is my favorite and I hope it will soon be yours.
@WordNerd Yes, leadership. It sounds like you need to become the top dog and take the reins. I'm thinking we should get you the pie that all the dogs wish they could have (but they can't, because it's all yours). May I suggest for you a true treat from the Midwest, the Peanut Butter pie? http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/mrs-salters-peanut-butter-pie-recipe/index.html Healthy it ain't, but it sure will help your confidence when everyone you know compliments your cooking and asks for another slice.

I never thought I would be so grateful for my psychological issues.
P.S. CONGRATULATIONS, AGAIN!!!
I am totally imagining you sitting at a little handmade wood desk, a la Lucy in Peanuts.
The beginning students in the production I'm in are frustrating me and testing my patience greatly. How do I not yell at them?

@Dr.Ms.S: Jewish and Argentine? This pie is 100% me, except for the cheese being optional. Thank you ♥ ♥ ♥
@Moosey Moose Yes, patience. You need something that reminds you why good things are worth waiting for. I prescribe a blueberry pie. If you cheat at eat it while it is too hot you will suffer, so go slow and enjoy the sweet things.
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-live/pollys-perfect-blueberry-pie-recipe/index.html
I want pie in my pie hole right now. That is certainly NOT patience.
CONGRATS!!! Now what?!
Also, I'm always single. This does not bode well.
Yay! Doctor!
My apartment is always messy and it bothers me, but I also cannot be bothered to clean it.
@erica What now is I have to find a post-doc job and study for the licensing exams. Bah.
For you, darling, I think I have an idea. Men are lovely but sometime simple beings. They respond well to enticement. I suggest you try the olfactory allure of a spiced peach pie. It'll have them busting down your door.

Sigh. I don't think I need to explain my own personal brand of neuroses to you, as well as you know. A slice would be nice, though.
I'm doing pretty well, actually. But I wouldn't mind some pie.
...or a gallery space for that matter.
omgomgomgomgomgomgomgggg. congratulations! i had no idea!!

and im broke.
please prescribe a cheap pie.
@emily Ah yes, I just saw your thread. I'll note you privately. But for now, you sound like you could use a comforting pie. I recommend you keep up your strength with a chicken pot pie. Warmth and comfort are what's needed now.

@nomi oh my No, you can totally make this as long as you have an electric mixer. And if you don't have one, you can come to my house and make it here.

@Skanko Thank you! Now, can I offer you a pie? Have you any problems pie can solve?
@drmizsarah - well hrm. i have a craving for pie, can pie solve that?!
@drmizsarah You know, these look tasty enough that I may just use them for my first show, whenever that happens to be.
congrats, doctor! my problem: I let my dog walk all over me (literally) what kind of pie can make me a more calm, assertive pack leader?
@ drmizsarah: I am vegetarian, but perhaps I could re-work it into a seitan pot pie? That actually sounds incredibly delicious right now.
By the way, these are my favorite threads. I still remember your soup recommendation one. That was awesome as well.
oops - sorry guys. I was offline last night and missed these last few. Let me get you some pie to help with that.
