But you have to endure the story that goes with it before I actually send it off. See, I had ridden over to this rally one day, to meet up with a friend that had ridden up from North Carolina. He was there with his fiance (he had just proposed that weekend), and we bopped around all day visiting his old haunts from his days as a Biology doctoral student at the University of Iowa. After finding the perfect pork tenderloin sandwich, we decided to finish with some dessert, so I could get on my way back to Chicago. He took us to this Italian restaurant that produced this pie that was so marvelous, I babbled about it on the BMW list for the better part of a week. Well, someone in upper New York state also had a hankering for it, started an email quest thru his various contacts in the state of Iowa, and finally convinced one of the guys there to go to the restaurant and ask for the recipe. We haven't tried it yet, my memory of it is still pretty vivid. Use cinnamon ice cream on the side...... Jon |
