“Keep your fork Duke, there’s pie.”

With this baby in my belly, I just didn't have the energy this summer to make my annual fruit pie. To make up for it, yesterday my mom and I visited Hoosier Mama Pie Company to have the best pie in Chicago. Surrounded by a little pie library and vintage treasures, we started by wolfing down some impossibly fluffy tomato cheddar parmesan quiche. We followed that with slices of cherry berry pie, coconut custard pie (above), and lemon chess pie (also pictured above, a Southern delight that tastes like a lemon bar topped with blueberries). I felt a bit more pregnant afterward, but it was worth it!
