YSaC, Vol 672: Kim Deal, this dog is NOT FOR YOU!
Dachshund minie chocolate Pie Ball
Dachshund minie chocolate Pie Ball Female. Looking for her forever home. House broke. all shots, leash trained (loves to walk, snuggle, and play). She can not be bread so no breeders. There is a adoption fee. call ###-###-####
You know what’s passé? Things on a stick, that’s what. Oh sure, corn dogs on a stick were all the rage, and chocolate dipped bananas were great and all, but it’s all just so last decade. I think the clear sign that the trend had really played itself out was that crème brûlée on a stick I saw at the state fair last August.
And don’t even get me started on deep frying things. I mean, now that we’re past the really obvious things to deep fry, like pickles and Twinkiestm, we’ve sunk to deep frying things like escargot, head cheese, and Homer’s shirt.
So the new food craze, clearly foreshadowed here? Ball form. That’s right, Pie Balls are going to be just the beginning. Soon you’ll be able to get cheeseburgers, goulash, and pollo en mole de Oaxaca all in a convenient ball, suitable for eating, juggling, or inspiring research into a way to turn all the worlds oceans into ice. However, just remember… no bread.
Thanks for the link, ellipsequeen!
Awwww. She can’t be bread? I guess that leaves fondue out of the question.
My melted Parmesan Pomeranian will be so disappointed.
It’s okay. I can’t be bread either.
Hey Stephanie’s back. I was beginning to think you ran off to Soviet Russia with Ed Snider.
In Soviet Russia, Ed Snyder runs off with you!
Ah, the old bon mot: I’d toast you if you were better bread.
My wife actually makes “Cake Balls” from time to time. They’re quite delicious actually… but PIE balls? Be still my clamoring heart. I’ve got a Sara Lee apple pie and a melon baller… let’s do this thing!
Seconded. I may actually have to try this. Crusty outer pie shell, gooey sugary pie filling inside. I think it would work best on a small scale and be a good dessert or appetizer for parties.
Mmmm… bite-size pie.
They’d be a like a small, round version of this.
Yes, I’ve had those 🙂 I’ve also had teeny tiny pies not much bigger than the end of a tablespoon. But never in round form.
Spherical makes everything better.
You know who could probably cook up some excellent pie balls?
Pete Schweddy.
I would totally eat pie balls. I wonder if they would stay crunchy in milk, like cereal.
Also, to everyone wondering where I’ve been, my boyfriend moved moved (from across the Atlantic ocean) in with me two weeks ago, so life has been a little crazy lately (but in a good way). 🙂
Dachshunds do not live by bread alone! Must have pie, too. Interesting to note they got dachshund right, but couldn’t get piebald, bred, or mini. Okay, I’ll give them minie, if we put it to a vote.
They also missed with “a adoption”.
Taco! Excellent catch! 8)
As
IsaacIssacIzzy is annoyed by improper posesive plural confusion, I am annoyed by mishandling a/an.But hey, whose gonna notice an thing like that, right?
I see what you did there. Again.
I’m the master of subtlety.
… except for the “an thing” part.
Hehe…
Sorry; I wasn’t around to get irked at the right time. I’ve been busily doing house chores like water-sealing the deck. Also, before that, finishing my grades. And then dealing with the student whining, which is like a two-day addition to the process of grade submission these days.
I thought Minie was her name. Wasn’t until I read your comment that I realized otherwise.
Maybe they’re selling minie balls.
pie bullets!
Skew balls!
Those would be pixie balls.
It’s that old song, “Minie the Poocher” right?
Not to be confused with Miniè the Poacher
Oh! Piebald! I really, really, REALLY wanted to know what that was supposed to be…thanks!
Me too! I thought they meant pit bull.
Wait, balls are round, but pie are square. I think we have a geoemetry issue here.
Is there such a thing as cat geometry?
What about a football? It is somewhat Dachshund shaped.
Is there such a thing as cat geometry?
Yes.
Not for the faint of heart, either.
Cats have that spatial dimension of “stretch” which makes it harder for mere humans to comprehend. Then, there’s the sub-dimension of “relax” in which otherwise solid objects wander into Daliesque liquidity.
For truly cerebral study, there’s cat topology, which can make ordinary human topological math seem as simple as quantum differentials
*Wait, balls are round, but pie are square.*
Pie are round, K-car square.
She cannot be bread, but she is pie.
Can she also be cake? Is this the little-known Schroedinger’s Dog – is the dog pie or cake?
Is it always true they cannot be bread?
Open the bakery box and see!
I think she’s more like strudel. However, it would be great if she was a fortune cookie.
If she was a fortune cookie, some potential fortunes:
“You like dogs.”
“Your fondness for chocolate pie balls could lead to unforeseen consequences.”
“Feed me.”
“I wish I was an Oscar Meyer weiner.”
“Blame it on the cats.”
… and with those you better curtail the urge to add “in bed”.
Another fortune: “DogMath Rules!” & “Woof is a 4-letter word”
I was WAITING for someone to say it!
You gotta get up pretty early missy.
😉
She cannot be bread, but she is pie.

Too many paradachses.
Brain broke. Doing shots.
Balls of tasty pie

I had to do it — googled “pie ball” — now I sorry I did. http://happymouthexperience.blogspot.com/2007/11/pie-ball.html
There are other references, not appropriate for YSAC.
That pie ball story is too hilarious. It really reinforces Bob Ross’ famous saying: we don’t make mistakes, we just have happy accidents.
Of course she’s looking for a new forever home. I want to know how Minie’s house broke. Too many pie balls? Maybe she’s gargantuan, like Clifford, the big red dog.
I was invited to a pie ball once, but didn’t have anything to wear.
Should have gone with the banana creme.
I would think the obvious choice for the pie ball would have been French Silk.
Cat’s Cradle reference FTW, Dan!
“turn all the worlds oceans into ice”
Yikes!!! Ice-Nine………
Edit: Great minds think alike eh Bianchi Sound
Wait, we’ve been beat to the punch! You can already get hamburgers in ball form.

Sure they look sort of like half-deflated balls, but dammit who never played Dodgeball, Bombardment, Knockout or one of the infinite other varieties, only to know the utter agony and shame of having a half-filled Voit ball mold to your face in such a way that it rides your unconscious form all the way to the hardwood floor?
Um, I believe hamburgers in ball form are called MEATBALLS!
*gimme some sauce*
[food corey]These ah, concoctions, are given flavors to mimic a cheeseburger, if one made with the least-best ingredients. Internal texture is not firm, so as to make no mistaken conncection to a meatball.
Leftover meatball breaded in panko and pan-fried is quite tasty.
Cheeseburger ball not that difficult. Get frozen char-broiled hamberburger patties. Allow to thaw. Divy into quarters. Grate some cheese. Mash that about the patty quarters. Wrap in croissant or dinner roll dough. Then, 350-300º oven for 12-15 minutes. These will dress before or after nicely.
[/corey]
Hot pockets mimic Jim Gaffigan.
•Pie can’t compete with cake. Put candles in a cake, it’s a birthday cake. Put candles in a pie, and somebody’s drunk in the kitchen.
I’ve often wondered if the makers of Hot Pockets* hate him or love the free press.
*forever known in my house as Caliente Pockets thanks to Jim G.
Warning: You’ve just purchased Hot Pockets.
Instructions: Remove Hot Pocket from sleeve and put directly in toilet.
Luuuuuhrve!
They have a special ball called a “dodgeball” now. It’s nice and soft, but still stings like all getout if it slams into your stomach.
I am so impressed that no one has yet attempted to ask the obvious question about food in ball form: what about Taco Balls?
I thought those were Taco Bulls.
I actually created a recipe called “Taco Balls.” One day I asked my wife if she’d rather have meatballs or tacos for dinner. She asked me to surprise her and I panicked. They actually turned out really well, and we’ve had it many times since.
Basically you make a standard meatball, but cut out some of the bread crumbs/oats and replace with crushed tortilla chips (or Corn Flour) and season them with Taco seasonings (or one of those packets for the lazy).
I serve them over Mexican rice with either a chili cheese sauce, or a red pepper tomato sauce (A sauce I borrowed from a Chili Con Carne recipe). I also put the standard taco accouterments on the table (sour cream, guac, cheese, veggies, hot sauce, etc).
[emeril] Bam! [/emeril]
What about me?*
*BAM = my initials.
Ooh, those sound fantastic. I have a fancy-schmancy Penzey’s taco seasoning mix that I could use…better than the packets, but still lazy.
There’s at least one recipe (dang if I can find it in my cookbooks) where you make a tex-mex seasoned meatball and roll it in crushed tortilla chips then bake or fry. Gives the crunch of a taco, in bite-size.
Side note, make up taco meat in the pan; then roll it in pastry dough, which makes a chingolinga. If you use masa dough it’s a chimichanga.
I like pie.
Could “Minie Chocolate Pie Ball” be the first ever band name AND dessert of the day on YSaC???
I say Pie Ball Dachshunds sounds better.
Perhaps the Minie Chocolates (an all-girl pop band) opening for the Pie Ball Dachshunds (an alternative band that is a mix between metal, country, and show tunes)?
What corsage do you bring to a Pie Ball?
A cool whip corsage.
You’re saying it weird.
Wu-hip
Pie Ball Dachshunds sounds like they’d be a Squirrel Nut Zippers cover band.
How about Minie Dachshund and the Chocolate Pie Balls?
Meredith, today only, I am offering a choice of punches. You can choose A. A Pie Ball Punch, B. A Mythos Punch, or C. A Minie Punch.
Today’s punch will be delayed until Meredith has a chance to think things over.
G’Night, Constantinople!
Timbuktu to you too
Now it’s Istanbul.
Of COURSE chocolate Pie can’t be bread, that’s just silly!
….. and here was I imagining a chocolate Swiss roll cake with pie-crust covering shaped into a dachshund. For me the post was going to be about someone’s baking skills presenting this challenge as the perfect birthday cake for a small dog loving child (small for both dog and child). I was so wrong. *goes back to vodka bottle with determined glint in eye and ice in glass*
I really do like pie balls. I spy them with my eyeballs.
Do they bounce a couple of times before they start rolling?
Hrrm. My comments don’t seem to be posting lately, at least not predictably. Maybe I’ll wait and see if my earlier comment shows up. Maybe I’ll eat a chocolate pie ball in the meantime. Mmm, pie ball.
D, it’s not in awaiting moderation. Are you sure you pushed the correct sequence of buttons and recited the spell correctly?
What do I look like, a dog with punctuation marks in his name? Of course I did it right.
It had been marked as spam.
So apparently you look like canned ham. 8)
Eenie meenie minie pie ball.
Don’t fling chocolate on the wall.
That’s not chocolate? Not at all?
You say it’s monkey in the hall?
Credit where it is due… Sparky did spell the hard one right… Dachshund. Where the Pie Balls came from is anyone’s guess, as the dog is a female…. I’ll park my Datsun in the corner.
“This dog cannot be bread”
It can, however, double for a rag mop or a facial cleanser.
