Hello everyone *looks around twice as nervously*

Not wishing to derail SarahB's reintroduction thread with my own re-re-reintroduction, here goes. It's been maybe a year or so since I've been around here, but I'll hopefully be back as a regular now. I see some new faces (or rather, I don't see any faces, but I see some new names) and plenty of old ones, and I've missed you fine folks! So hello!

Surely not? That would be an apostrophe! *sticks out tongue*

Maybe not a whole year, but I'm guessing based on the fact that when I started grad school almost a year ago I kind of dropped off the radar on some of my online activities.

I figured everybody was having a busy time of it for the past couple of years-
either that, or lurking (little bit of both for me)...

Welcome back, MS!
Have some cocoa, it'll go nicely with the sweet pies- as soon as we find out which ones are sweet...

Aren't they still the ones marked with an "S"?

They should be. And hello again.

I can confirm that the sweet pies are marked with an "S". It is easy to find them as they are to the left of the savoury pies. (Easy enough to recognise those as they have an "S" on them.)

That's still a tad confusing. Far simpler is the fact that the sweet (on the left with an 'S') are square while the savoury (those ones on the right with the 'S') are four sided.

Well, the important thing is that the sweet pies have a delicious filling wrapped in a doughy crust, while the savory have a bready outside surrounding a tasty center.

I thought that the sweet pies were on the right? That's why the custard is there, right?

No The sweet pies are on the left, but yes, there is custard on the right as well. Please don't mistake it for gravy, though, which is in the other jugs, on both sides.


(Note to self: get a square table, then there will be four lefts, depending on direction of approach and another four, depending on the direction of departure.)

But that still doesn't answer the 'Did Rachmaninov like fruit pie?' question!

Edited to add inversion.

Just look out for the rogue chitterling pie that seems to have slipped in. You definitely don't want custard on that, or on second thoughts I couldn't make it any worse could it?

Probably not....

It could be better than before though.

Who ate the humble pie, or is it still here somewhere?
