Valentine's Eve - Paul Henry's Art Gallery

There are pies, and there is The pie, and this pie caught my eye as soon as I walked in the door.

Bonnie Kaysen's Pie

Monday night was the gallery's Valentine's Eve chocolate pie contest.  I have to say this was a very enjoyable evening with a small crowd, just mingling and enjoying the event.

I have to give Michelle Milan a big thanks, for without the piano and her singing as background music, the ambiance would not have been the same.  Thank you Michelle!

The judges . . . still confused . . . (actually they were great, and it was a filling judiciary responsibility)

And now, the winners of this years Valentine's Eve chocolate pie contest . . . drum roll please . . .

A special thanks to Chuck Rocek for providing the "heart mobiles".  And . . . there have been delicious rumors of a possible 4th of July Eve pie contest!  Now, that might get me to bake a cherry pie the way mom use to make it . . . :)
