Random Acts of Pieness

Just 12 minutes from the heart of Hickory is one of the best pie places in the area. The Pie Place, on West Pike Street in Houston, has a great selection of fresh pies and baked goodies at reasonable prices. I decided to stop in this morning after reading the catchy "Random Acts of Pieness" phrase on the sign in front of the store. The February pie of the month is French Silk! They had an assortment of fruit pies and cream pies, as well as bar cookies, muffins, ladylocks, cookies and nut tassies.

I decided to perform some random acts of pieness, so I bought a mini chocolate cream pie for my father-in-law, a mini peach pie for my mother-in-law and four double chocolate muffins for my brother-in-law, husband and daughter (and me!!!!). The mini pies look like they should serve 2, although knowing my sweets-loving family they'll devour them in one sitting. The muffins were oversized, chocolately and most-looking, and I am SO looking forward to killing mine after dinner with a nice cup of tea.

The next time you head down Rt. 519, stop by The Pie Place and perform random acts of pieness for some of your loved ones!
