SuperPizzaBoy’s school had a trivia night Friday night as a fund raiser. And you know you can’t have a fund raiser without some sort of desert auction, right? (Somebody say amen.)
Sweetie was going to make an apple pie using one of the Pioneer Woman’s recipes. That always gets my attention because Rhee Drummond can flat cook anything, and so can Sweetie. (Somebody say AMEN!!)
Sweetie’s pie got picked for a live auction as opposed to the silent auction. Kari, the bundle of dynamite that was running the desert auction, looked at me and said “Yogi, bid $75.” Anybody out there doubt I did that? (Somebody say AMEN!!) Bidding zoomed up to $95, my last bid.
Then Kari said the fateful words, “The bottom of this pie is still hot!” Did that wake the up?? Did that pull hte wallets out?? Yes it did, (Say AMEN!) You thought the pie was hot, you should have seen the bidding. The look on people’s faces. Visions of HOT APPLE PIE!!! (AMEN!!, I’ll say it myself.)
The WINNER at $165! Actually he just got to pay for it, his wife was the one with the bid.
Know something else? That pie did not make it out of the building. Plates and forks were passed out and that pie was gone in minutes!!
One of the other Dad’s paid Sweetie a compliment, I guess. He told me, “Good thing for you that I’m already married because I would have to kill you. That was the best pie I ever had.”
Somebody say AMEN
