Ever tasted Shoo-Fly Pie? A song has been written about it! (1945) Here is the first verse: "Shoo-fly Pie and Apple Pan-Dowdy Makes your eyes light up and your tummy say Howdy. Shoo-Fly Pie and Apple Pan-Dowdy, I never get enough of that wonderful stuff!" It was recorded by: Bing Crosby Dinah Shore Ella Fitzgerald Guy Lombardo. That's all... Harry
As to the actual reason for the name, it is supposed that the pie and its sweet, sticky filling had to cool outside and it attracted lots of flies and other bugs. Hence it was called SHOO FLY pie! The recipe sure sounds good.

There's 2 varieties of shoofly pie wet bottom and dry bottom. My wife always used to make he wet bottom ones. She'd make one for me and one for the rest of the family. But that one for me gave me a big bottom so she stopped making them.
I love rice pilaf. Introduced to it by an Indian friend long ago. I'd like to try making Cajun rice, or dirty rice. Dirty rice and coleslaw are about the only things I like at Bojangles. The local Church's Chicken has Cajun rice. It tastes the same. I think they both order it from the same supplier.
I saw a recipe for butternut squash lasagna, and we have butternut squash. I am using Brussels sprouts instead of spinach to give it more “body” , and I am making it in a skillet instead of using the oven, since it has to cook covered anyway. I will report back after we have some and let you know what we thought of it. Here is the regular recipe that I adapted it from.
