Ok everybody, think about this before you vote.....it has a crust and it has filling.....PIE!!! And if it becomes designated as a pie, than Tim will have to make me one! HAHAHAHAHA!!! ;}

Had to pause before voting...Melanie's logic just about had me. Webster..."pie, n. A paste baked w/ something in or under it;" Now I know you'll flame me if I'm wrong, but doesn't cheesecake generally have a crumb crust, rather than paste? Sorry Melanie, I was thisclose. :-) I put it in a catagory of its own. The much older sister.

But what about the part of me just winning in order to get Tim to have to make me one !?!?! :)

Hmm...I see your point. Looks like you may quite possibly have a Simon created cheesecake in your future. ;-)
