1st Annual McAdams Pie Making Contest

It was an off-year for the McAdams Thanksgiving this year, but we still wanted to get together over the holiday weekend. We were together a few weeks back and heard about how Uncle Jeff had been perfecting his apple pie over the past several weeks. It sounded like a challenge to the other chefs in the family and the plan to have a pie making contest began. We gathered this afternoon for the contest. Jeff had two entries, Andy three, Jeremy two and Ben one.
The pie making contest scorecard called for judging on looks, texture, crust, and taste.
Ben and Kate made this one: banana's foster pie. Yum! Kate was extremely please with the process and the final product.
In the midst of the tasting/judging . . .
8 pies. 21 judges. Not a whole lot of pie left over.
The chefs: Andy, Jeff, Jeremy, and Ben - with the winner's trophy - which we will hold until next year's contest.
Kudos to Andy for procuring and modifying the trophy!

What I meant to write was, "Looks delicious!!" not "Looks delicious?" Of course it all looks wonderful, and I really do want the recipe for the bananas foster pie.
