Am I the only one on the planet who had never heard of chess pie?
.
The week before Christmas one of the patients where I work mentioned that he was going home to bake pies. I asked what kind he was making and he rattled off a list of the regular fare and ended with "chess pie." What? Yeah. He said it was a southern dish that used to be made when other ingredients weren't available for pie filling.

Whiskers Jay helped decorate, and he was around for the dismantling too. I love this photo of him so I thought I'd throw it into this post...one last little glimpse of Christmas. So long most wonderful time of the year...

Okay. I'd heard of Chess pie but never had a clue what it was like. So, after seeing your's and checking out the recipe, I may have to try it. Now that I've decided buying Pillsbury redi-crust is not a sin, I'm more inclined to bake a pie now! Looks yummy, my DD! xo
Looks yummy. Please send a piece ASAP! My dog "helped" put the garland together for our tree. However I suspect she only hung around because I used pretzels to make it.
Man that makes me hungry! I think that picture would make a great Christmas card. I just bought a few packages of gift bags, a roll or wrapping paper and some tissue on big sale today. I put it away and thought it was really the end to the Christmas season.

It looks yummy! I had heard of it, but never tried it. And your little helper is cute!
My parents grew up in the south, so I am familiar with chess pie - and love it, too. I will have to try your recipe.
Cornmeal? Hmmm will have to find the English equivalent of that! I do like the sound of this and will definitely give it a go. It looks delicious!
That's a new one for me too! Sounds delicious though
