Hey everyone, great to see you at the YC this past weekend. I may try to make it to the Vic show Saturday. If I do, I'll bring you some pie! Allie, I hate to tell you this but I killed a pumpkin pie yesterday. I accidentally through it against the wall. I'll find two of my awesome apple pie recipes tonight and send them your way. I so enjoyed our talk on baking and hard liquor! Jenn, aka, "the driver"
