[View this page at adn.com]( Live free, pie hard By Julia O'Malley Newsletter #22: Her Pieness A week or so ago, Maya Wilson came to Anchorage and we met at Pho Vietnam and talked about writing pie recipes. I got all into this idea about making a blueberry curd tart and talked a HUGE game. I also totally dared her to make a sweet-potato marshmallow-meringue pie. She was all: challenge, accepted. I then flew to New York to celebrate my best friend's birthday. And could not get my ingredient/kitchen/tart pan act sorted. Meanwhile Maya delivered [this gorgeous, perfect Thanksgiving pie](. Let us now crown her Queen. Congratulations, Your Pieness. That's not to say that Kim Sunée didn't bring her pie A-game. She's got a recipe for [a super easy caramel pie]( that slow-cooks condensed milk into silky caramel in the oven. Look how beautiful: You could also make [my foolproof blueberry pie]( if you've got bloobs in the freezer. Or [this apple pie]( star of the internet. Or Sunée's [famous Key lime pie](. Or, enter my personal pie fantasy and make [Maya's lemon meringue](. (If someone makes this pie for me, I will be bound to them for life.) We've run a picture of this pie before, but I'm pasting it in now because I can't stop thinking about it. (Or, maybe you're like a lot of us and you LOVE looking at all these pictures of pie and you really would like to make one. But, if you are being truly honest, it's been a rough couple of weeks and you are exhausted and nothing sounds better than just going out on Thanksgiving and maybe going to a movie afterward. No judgement. [Here's a list of places in Anchorage to eat.]( [Read previous newsletters [here](. Find more Alaska recipes [here]( Oh hey: Did you [enter our recipe contest]( yet?
