which_chickAin't voted yet but I'm gonna. I've got to wait for the pie to be done, first. Most people just go to the polls and vote, but my election-day responsibilities are a little more involved than that. I have to do the election grocery shopping, make the election pie, vote, take the ballot box over to the county seat, wait for the ballots to be counted, bring home the returns, and post them. So, y'know, if your election-day responsibilities don't involve getting your ass out of bed at 7:30 AM to do battle with pastry crust, count your blessings.
This year's election pie is apple. Historically, it's been cherry. However, I don't like cherry pie as well as I like apple. Also, since my aunt Dora likes cherry and I'm mad at her regarding the woodpile incident, there's not going to be cherry pie out of me anytime soon if it will be anywhere she could maybe have a piece of it. (Dora frequently works the election.) Of the people involved with the election, nobody but me adores peach pie, so apple, conveniently in season, was the best choice.
Also, I have had a talk with Grandma regarding the proper post-election handling of my fucking pie tin. This time last year, dad's wife ran off with the pie tin as it had a slice of pie left in it. I didn't get a slice of pie and I didn't know where my pie tin was. Unacceptable on two counts, that was. First off, them as makes the pie gets a slice of the pie, so that last slice was for me. Second, the pie tin shall not leave the polling place unless it's in my hands. Ideally, one piece of pie is left in the pie tin. Less ideally, the pie tin, empty, is left at the polling place. Under no circumstances shall the pie tin, empty or full, depart the the polling place in the hands of anyone other than its owner.
I don't think this is too fucking difficult. I hope they can manage it a little more properly this year.
