A Slice (No pun intended) of Heaven

After a delicious meal at Teo, Madame La Bouffe and I decided to eat our dessert at the legendary House of Pies in the upscale Westhiemer neighborhood. We went inside, and were immediately enveloped in the buttery warmth of the place. After we sat down at a booth and received our drinks, we got our spectacular menus. Fruit pies, meringue pies, cream pies, specialty pies..... the list of bliss was endless! I finally decided on the coconut cream pie, and Madame La Bouffe got the coconut meringue pie. We sat, looking around at the old-fashioned diner style room, our minds on our pie.

Finally heaven came, in the form of two fourths of white fluffy wonderfulness. We brandished our forks and stuffed our faces. My pie was absolutely fantastic, with a flaky crust; a rich, sweet, creamy, coconut-y filling; and a gigantic swab of fluffy whipped cream. It was so huge that I couldn't finish it, but I did get a slice of lemon icebox pie (for breakfast the next morning!). 

Our pies were very reasonably priced, and we also got some really delicious decaf to go with our dessert. 

House of Pies is an absolutely amazing place to eat, and apart from delectable pie, it also has breakfast, lunch, and dinner! If this diner was in your neighborhood, it would be all you need. Shoo, Burger King! Scat, Waffle House! I'll be back, House of Pies!
