In the interest of being prepared for my new endeavors, I picked up a banana cream pie from <a href="http://missionpie.com/">Mission Pie</a> last night.  Really, it was all about research and had nothing to do with the intense cravings that I have been experiencing since first laying eyes on one a few weeks back.  I swear.  The bottom line is that the pie is now gone, tucked safely into our bellies, and it was well worth the splurge.  Take a look for yourself.
