Three Pies in the Oven

Apple, pumpkin, and sweet potato. The house smells like heaven, and I keep thinking of new lyrics to Three Coins in the Fountain.

where he's a Navy cook & he's been locked in the ship's cooler while his pies are in the oven & he yells out to his captor, "Get my pies out of the oven." Of course, the guy doesn't & of course later, Segal is the special ops guy who saves the day. This was before Segal went all weirdo & out of shape.

I've never had sweet potato pie, but I'd love to try it!
