I was going to be clever, say Joe, that story doesn't fly
but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I have noticed bread doesn't mold like it used to. I buy Health Nut whole grain bread because it's "good for you." But it doesn't mold. It gets crumbly after ten days or so. It dries out. The rustic French loaves I have the bakery slice for me will mold in a few days, depending on humidity, etc. I have to freeze part of that because I can't eat a whole loaf in that timeframe. Well, I could, but it would put more wah in my waddle. The mother ship pie that won't die is scary. Be afraid...

i couldn't help but notice that the vancouver kids of today seem unusually
tall and i associate it with all the genetically modified, hormonally induced food that is on store shelves now. i long for the vegetables of yesteryear but we've screwed with our food so much, i don't know that it's possible. the flavor and texture just aren't the same.

Ha ha, very funny story. If "The Monster" lived with me I would have
seriously pissed him off.. I would have found his experiment and read the label and dumped it. He would have not been happy with me, I am sure...!!! I am a refrigerator raider (spelling?), I go in the fridge each and every other day to see if there is any expired food or food over 3 days old and I throw it or give to the dogs. I hate having old stuff in my fridge... call me a perfectionist if you must... LOL

So...what happened to the old pie? The monster didn't eat it , did he? If
I go first, I KNOW Max will die from food poisoning! He hates to throw anything out...I tell him throwing out something found in the wayback of the fridge is less expensive than a trip to the hospital!

The pie must have been pumped with preservatives.
Is the new pie going to be eaten or is it another experiment

Joe Love,
I love (pun semi-intended 
) your pumpkin pie story!
Aside from being funny, it also performs a valuable service to the public: I at least shall refrain from ever buying any kind of pie, pumpkin or otherwise, from Walmart, unless I get the sudden urge to embalm myself prematurely...

D's luggage
was found. Still, he had unknowingly packed for the wrong time of year and froze his behind off!! Thanks for asking.

Awwwwwww. Frankenkitty!!
That is so sweet of you to say!! These past few days, pulling words from my mind has been like pulling teeth. I can't seem to grab the voice that usually works for me. I'll get there, though. Thank you for the words of encouragement. They are much appreciated.

I'm glad you're writing here again.
Your stories are great! I think it's okay to be curious about the durability of pie, but I really hope he didn't eat it. He didn't, did he? I hope you had a nice weekend

Always a delightful read. I guess the Monster had some wisdom about the pie after all.

I'm glad reason prevailed.. you might as well take up refrigerator space with something you can actually eat. - or is The Monster saving this one up for next year?
PS not having read this post, I was clearing out my own fridge; I found a mug with about half a cup of tuna in it.. growing about an inch of white mould on top. I am deeply chagrined..

What if..
he turns really strange after ingesting all those chems. Could be a Stephen King novel idea...:)
I've been anticipating the arrival of this post, Joe Love. You never disappoint.

Joe_Love...
Can you imagine how much preservative was in that pie? I mentioned in your other post that it sounded comparable to the case of the donut. My hubby left a plain donut in much the same way. He said all you would have to do is microwave it and it would seem fresh again. All those additives just can't be good for us.

Ah...ewe! Hahaha
So after all this experimentation, no one actually had a piece of this pie after all that time? I think that would be the
real test!

That's a heart-warming pie story.
I wonder what became of the huge thing? Think of all the pumpkins that had to die...

This is wonderful news! Glad to know that when atomic bomb falls, at least
those cute pumpkin pies will survive.

This is just too funny! Now I can't imagine leaving a pumpkin pie go that long (because I would consume it) but have had a few disasters with sour creme..You know I always worry about you and refrigerators, please
refrain from putting too much trust in them!!! LOL...Joe those were the days!!!!

Joe Love, I love that image of The Monster (whom I can't quite picture)
haviing a slice of ancient pie with Jimmy Carter, surreal. That and the "kind of smile you give someone when they take out their photo album" and bore you to death with it.

Ha ha ha!! A friend of mie did that with Thanksgiving dressing...but unfortunately it was green and moldy and started to move around on its own....The Super Pie reminds me of those nasty McDonalds fries in "Super Size Me..." I'm glad the Monster found a new ambition in life. Such things keep us going.
