My Mother turned 91 yesterday. She writes the children's poetry posted here sometimes. A few of us Italian girls went to the Norske Nook for pie and who cares what else. My cousin Tammi and I were the only Norwegians at the table, but all of us are some manner of Italian and the four of us have major sweet tooths, teeth—we like pie.

Tammi had Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie and took home a slice of Raspberry Cream Cheese and a piece of Turtle Cheesecake for her and the hubby. She said they were "like heaven" and to "die for". I'd post another pie photo here, but I'm full and I think everyone's had enough already.
Update: Here ya go, Sallie, not the best pic but you get the idea.

As long as I'm adding on the calories, the Northwoods Root Beer Float frozen
pie remains my fav out of all I tasted.

I AM full ... But I wish you'd posted a picture of the peanut butter pie, because I could never turn that down, no matter how much I'd eaten, er, gazed at ... What a great Celebration! And Your mother looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou know camera flashes and I'm having trouble with mine, but here ya go, Sallie. Gotta say not my fav flav but my cuz was all over it. Yeah she looks pretty good, doesn't she?
ReplyDeleteThey all look so good! I hope your mom had a wonderful birthday!
ReplyDeleteShe loves to get out, Cascia and I think she had a good time. If there's a nice choice of bakery, she's pretty happy.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations that's an admirable age and she still waves her wand :) The cake looks delicious
ReplyDeleteIt's all about the amazing pie flavors at the Norske Nook, Marja. Although they do have two flavors of cheese cake (more like pie than cake). She was a sport about putting on the fairy princess stuff.
DeleteHappy Birthday to your mother she looks like such a sweet lady especially holding onto her fairy wand. The cake must have made her very happy too.
ReplyDeleteShe is a bit of a sugarholic although we have both been trying to cut down lately, Mary K. I loved it when she started posing with the wand and put on the ring and tiara.
ReplyDeleteWell, a happy 91th! Looks like fun at carb central.
ReplyDeleteHa, yeah, they've raised the bar for comfort food as well, Tom.
ReplyDeleteYour Mother's photo made me smile because my Mum had a photo taken very much like that one. She had the same star and tiara but she also had a fur stole wrapped around her shoulders. She looked like the Queen Mother and loved every minute.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated birthday to her.
I'm not even going to look at those cakes because I'm sure I'll add gazillions of calories to my diet... just by looking at them!
Happy birthday to your mom!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to our Mum, she looks amazing for 91
ReplyDeleteMollyxxx
OH my gosh those desserts.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your Mum -91 trips around the sun is impressive . She doesn't look it.
Hope I'll be like your mom when I'm her age, still perky and joyful! Never heard about a root beer float pie:)
ReplyDeleteAbout my new blog: I know a lot of people will be happy about the easier commenting process! But I doubt if it will make a difference in how many more (different) people will comment:)
I loved that flavor the best, J. although the Orange Dreamsicle was good too. My mother does love going out to dine. I think you do pretty good but easier is always better online.
ReplyDeleteOh happy birthday to your Mom! Your Mother looks amazing! And well, I have never had anything like those pies... They are huge!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you for my slice of peanut butter pie -- (or for sharing Tami's piece with me anyway -- I hope she didn't mind -- I didn't eat much ))).
