Personally, I get along fine with my in-laws.  I really like my father-in-law and we have a lot of shared interests (shooting, geneaology, conspiracy theories)... we used to not see him and my stepmother-in-law very often, despite living in the same town, but that's been changing lately.

My other mother-in-law can get on my nerves what with her wacko religious beliefs, but we get along ok and for some reason she worships me.

Princesca gets along really well with my dad.  My mom... er... that's a different story, but much better than it used to be.

Thank God I'm not German.  Though I think my grandma used to make these.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Never heard of it. What's wrong with people? Sugar isn't a flavour.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It's a molasses pie IIRC.

the shoofly pie is apparently a molasse pie, from what I read in Wikipedia.  It would be called "mollasse pie" here, but I don't think you would find this in any restaurant.  Every single restaurant has sugar pie on its menu, though.  I used to like sugar pie (made with brown sugar), but I have an harder time tolerating that much sugar nowadays.

I have no idea if the recipe for "mollasse pie" is the same for a shoofly pie, I may have eaten this once or twice whan I was a kid.

It's brown sugar and milk, mostly.

LOL Malthus, just read your post. Wtf. I'm from a catholic country and never seen anything like that. Sounds like a Christian version of 120 days of Sodom.

Her parents aren't just Catholic, they belong to some sect of Catholicism that thinks the Church is corrupt because it is too liberal and because it doesn't approve of some of the folk miracle-mongering that these people go in for.

They are, literally, 'more Catholic than the Pope'.  :lol:
