Recipe for SoWal Humble Pie

Tomatoes.


But I don't think you are looking for edible ingredients.

I am thinking...

I think the "secret" ingredient would have to be tomatoes. Or maybe it won't be a sweet pie but a savory pie with cheese, tomatoes, herbs, etc. Those are all pretty humble ingredients. Here are the meanings of some herbs (from the Internet)

Basil = Love
Bay = Fame
Chamomile = Wisdom
Chervil = Serenity
Chives = Usefulness
Dill = Good cheer, Survival
Fennel= Grief, Endurance
Lavender = Devotion
Marjoram = Joy
Mint= Refreshment
Parsley = Merriment
Rosemary = Remembrance
Sage = Wisdom
Santolina = Virtue
Savory = Interest
Scented Geranium = Happiness
Sweet Woodruff = Humility
Tansy = Hostility
Tarragon=Permanence
Thyme = Daring

Sounds like sweet woodruff should be in it if possible (we have lots of it growing in our Michigan yard). But that's not as easily available. But basil (love), chives (usefulness), dill (good cheer/survival), geranium (happiness), thyme (it takes courage to eat humble pie), sage (wisdom) all seem to fit well with humble pie and are easily available.

You forgot Yellow Flies!

Paula, we know your slice of Humble Pie is always going to be topped with some refreshing cool Carvel ice cream!

You forgot Yellow Flies!

Ah, yes! The delectable crunch was missing!

Well, first you have to start with some good humble.

how 'bout some lump crab, shrimp and scallops in a nice cream sauce in pastry?

Now that's rich!

I think we need to add a little jello (and maybe some liquor - LOL!)

Frog's Legs!!!

I think we'll get enough ideas for a humble pie cookbook, some sweet (Carvel ice cream), some savory (crab, shrimp, scallops), some crispy (yellow flies and frogs legs), some smooth (fish spit)...

yes.....of course....

That is a brilliant smiliey! May I "borrow" it?
