Pie, Pie, me oh my, oh how I love my green bean pie. Remember those lyrics that Andie McDowell sang in the movie Michael (the movie about the angel played by John Travolta.) Now whenever the word "Pie" comes to mind, so does the song. Because... Oh how I do love pie! Pie time is now, too, when fall has arrived and the temperature has dropped and the kitchen is cozy and warm with the spicy aroma of baking pies. I saw this recipe for, would you believe it, Green Bean Pie, and have to try it. Question is, is it a main dish pie pie or a pie side pie? I think thats a heck of a lot of work if it's just a side dish. But then most cooking is a lot of work when you consider all the love and time you put into your cooking, and the family scarfs it down in ten minutes or less. So here's that recipe I found. Hey, if it's a main dish pie, I might tackle it - maybe throw in a little chicken and some white wine ;)
