Stress cannot exist in the presence of pie

No offence to David Mamet, but I beg to differ. Stress can exist anywhere, especially if you're making that pie yourself, and most especially if the crust is gluten-free. Don't even get me started on homemade gluten-free pie crust!!

According to the American Pie Council, did y'all know there's an American Pie Council?? Squee!! Anyway, according to their website, "Pie has been around since the ancient Egyptians. The first pies were made by early Romans who may have learned about it through the Greeks. These pies were sometimes made in 'reeds' which were used for the sole purpose of holding the filling and not for eating with the filling."

The early pies were usually meat pies, and they were actually more crust than filling. Historians think the first fruit pies may have been made in the 1500s, with the first cherry pie being made for Queen Elizabeth I.

"Pie came to America with the first English settlers. It was during the American Revolution that the term crust was used instead of coffyn. Over the years, pie has evolved to become what it is today, “the most traditional American dessert”. Pie has become so much a part of American culture throughout the years that we now commonly use the term “as American as apple pie.”"
