On a PrIvatE subject:

I desire a single peice French Silk pie.

I refuse to buy the frozen Tippin's French Silk Pie for various reasons, beginning with the fact that I obviously do not require a whole pie. I need only one peice. Also, I remember that at one time you could buy Tippin's incredible French Onion Soup and French Silk Pie fresh.

I also have been frivolously hunting for it on varous menus. I can heartily say that although the French Silk cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory is very good, it still does not fill the void that Tippin's has created.

What does this stem from? Ah, well... they say that most women reach for ice cream if they're depressed, or if it comes to matters of the heart. I enjoy ice cream, but that flaw was replaced about four years ago with an away message of "I want Pie."

I never did get that piece of pie- not really. Oh, I've had my share of coconut creams and even a couple lemon. Pumpkin pie is a necessity for Thanksgiving- even possibly as early as Halloween-

But I don't hardly touch them.

If you should find a restauraunt with French Silk Pie in the St. Louis area, do let me know. I'd be forever greatful.
