Friday Pie Day Faux Pas: Speechless Sweet Potato Nothings

Ummm.

Well, I don't know what you have to say for yourself, Pie.

I guess at first glance, you don't look that bad. But I've got to be honest with you - you are definitely not a case of tastes-better-than-you-look.

I'm sorry to have to say this, but you, are just all kinds of wrong. And not in a good way.

It all started so well. I thought I'd give you a crusty sweet potato bottom. That egg was binding you together quite nicely. You even smelt decent, with that hint of paprika.

I guess your downfall though, was the filling. Admittedly, I should have stepped up and given this more thought. I mean, a layer of tomatoes and leeks? What the hell was that?

I wanted to keep it simple. I was just trying to make sure that your sweet potato paprika crust wasn't going to be overwhelmed. I wanted it to be all about you.

But as I went to put you in the oven, I still felt it wasn't enough. So I randomly poured some cream over the top. And that, is what ruined you. Because I overlooked the fact that you would need more time to adjust to this change, to allow it to set properly.

And of course, with me being ever-Hungry, I was too impatient and took you out too early. Your sides were starting to blacken, and the tomatoes were threatening to dry out, I panicked, ok?

I'm sorry, Pie, for I have failed you. I hope you'll forgive me.

Pie out.
