OK, so there is one less thing on my to do list.  Immediately following my last post, I decided to take a short virtual trip over to Tippin's and check out the menu.  "Sorry.  Tippin's is closed for business.  Thanks, Kansas City, for 24 great years"  This is a said state of affairs, my friends.  And why, you might ask, would a fine establishment such as this be closing?  We live in a society full of hucksters, some of whom have persuaded a large segment of the population into believing that carbohydrates are our enemy.  So, we have gone out of our way to avoid the enemy and, in some cases, even destroy it.  Sad to say, but you just ain't gonna have pie without a heapin' helpin' of carbs.  At least not a pie that's fit for human consumption.  And if you happen to be a purveyor of fine pies, it's probably a safe bet that you don't need to worry about printin' up any calendars for next year.  Well, I could go off on a very large rant here, but I won't.  Suffice it to say that I'm not nearly as concerned about whales as I am about those heavenly, carb-laden delicacies that are the perfect compliment to a hot cup of fresh coffee.  SAVE THE PIES!
 
Be happy and careful, but eat some carbs
