#TBT To The Time I Was A Two-Time Pie Eating Champion
This photo - which like last week's was rescued from my old, abandoned Flickr archives is from September of 2005 when I was a Village Trustee in the Village of Frankfort and I was about to dominate the annual pie eating contest. Yep...two time winner is *this guy*. I don't remember if I won in 2004 and 2005 or 2005 and 2006. But, as you can see by the kid next to me, it wasn't super top-notch eating talent. And, if there's one thing I can do well, it is eat fast. That's nothing new. It was just being in a position to eat banana cream pies in a competition that brought out that talent. I remember smelling banana pudding for a long time after these things. I also remember the winning award: a year's worth of pies from Enrico's. Natalie and I used to go in there once a month, pick up a pie and bring it to my folk's house. My dad loved those banana cream pies!
