The "F-U" Shoney's Strawberry Pie

The "Fuck You" Shoney's Strawberry Pie

Okay, first things first... Let's get one thing straight. I <3 Shoney's and they have given me jobs many times over the years, however.... Every time I work there.... The store closes. *sigh* Then it's back to the want ads again... Trying to decide whether to strip or bring assholes their morning coffee. I mean hey... do you think I like being awake in the a.m. to serve you a cup of steaming joe while I'd rather be sleeping with my 100lb dog smothering me to death... No.

But I digress.... When I went to the produce market today they had the most LOVELY strawberries...

                                                      See?

Anyway so - I made and executive decision... Either drive 100 miles to a Shoney's or just make the damn pie myself... So Here ya go... And recipe is at the bottom... 



 
Bake pre-bought pie crust.


3 Cups Strawberries
  
 Strawberry Glaze 


& then the gushy part...
The F-U Shoney's Strawberry Pie : )


Recipe

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar (I used half sugar/half agave)
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 6 tablespoons strawberry Jell-O (Personally, I used 3)
  • 3 Cups whole cleaned strawberries to fill a baked 9-inch deep-dish pie crust.
  • And I sliced my strawberries.. It's way easier to eat that way.

Instructions

Blend sugar, cornstarch and water together and cook to almost pudding stage. Add Strawberry Jell-O. Place drained whole fresh strawberries into baked deep-dish 9-inch pie shell. Pour cooked mixture over berries. Chill 2 hours at least. Top with Cool Whip.

"Vanilla Heart-Attack Shaped Cake"

Eat at Your own Risk! (lol) Yummo! I really can't stop gushing about this cake, ya'll. Literally... they had to keep it away from me so I wouldn't sleep eat it, and give myself a heart attack from eating it. And, by the way - every piece was worth every palpitation. (don't worry, I only got about two pieces of this cake - it was so good everyone else wanted some, haha) Alrighty - Let's get to it..  First, get your ingredients together and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Then whisk your dry ingredients together. This takes place of actually having to buy cake flour. It's a short cut I use, but you can purchase cake flour if you want to, it's your life - however this saves you a bundle of time without having to purchase the flour and gives you a discount plus an even texture throughout the cake.  Start getting the wet ingredients together. Eggs, Sugar, Butter, Vanilla, & Crisco... YES - another recipe with Crisco... ...

"Ya Don't Have To Be From Tara" Collard Greens

My friend, Tara, and I had an interesting conversation about where her name came from, and she seemed genuinely fucking surprised that I had any knowledge of Tara (the majestic house from "Gone With The Wind"). And, I really don't blame her. Where we live you're more apt to see sand cranes, piers, and palm trees held up by sticks than you will see majestic southern homes with huge columns. That's where huge columns came from by the way...  Or America's obsession with putting columns up everywhere rather. The movie inspired people everywhere to embrace the south in their soul, throw up some columns, put on a bandanna, and make some collard greens. Now, I'm not even sure collard greens were even in "Gone With The Wind" but they are quintessentially southern none the less. I am from a super small town where if there weren't collard greens on my Granny's table at least three times a week then the world had probably gone to hell in a hand b...
