I´m not just a Cinnamon enthusiast, I´m also a Psychic

Just kidding about the Psychic part...but today while I was driving I randomly got the song F*** You by Cee Lo Green (by the way Gwyneth Platrow did a better job on Glee) in my head. And when I got home I started humming it and my sister was like, “I was singing that in my head while you were driving”. So, I guess we had some sister telepathy going on. Cool, eh?

Well let’s get onto the subject of pie. But before I do, did anyone recodnize the quote I used for the title? No? Yes? Well it’s from Psych, a.k.a. the best TV show EVER! I’m totally in love with James Roday (Shawn Spencer). Well in the episode Dual Spires, Shawn and Gus go to a cinnamon festival and basically everything in the town has cinnamon in it and Shawn and Gus try a cinnamon pie and the way they went on and on about it I knew I had to make it too, but I just didn’t have time. However, the idea for a cinnamon pie has been in my head since that episode aired and I could get it out. Well today I finally did it! I made a cinnamon pie! Granted it’s not the prettiest thing in the world and this is only my second pie and I think, even though it is unfortunate looking, it is one dang good tasting pie! I don’t want to say it was fudgey because it isn’t chocolate, but that’s the consistency it had and mmm I had to stop myself from eating more of it by eating ice cream instead haha. But it is now my goal to perfect this pie because I think it could turn out to be something great. Maybe that could be my new years resolution.

The crust was a tad bit burnt on the top, but that didn't harm

the taste factor of this pie.

 Mmmm cinnamon pie.
