Fancy-Pants Pie Time

   There are two fancy-pants pie filling flavors in the works. The first mango melon was suggested in a sort of drive by fashion after our weekly music class by Mr Chuck.  At first, I was a little dubious (not being a huge fan of melon).  But then I began to look upon it as a challenge.  What I am imagining right now is a lovely pie called Gingered Honey Mango Melon.  Now my job is to turn the fantasy pie into an actual pie that tastes good in pie time.  Not sure how I am going get there but I am going to try. 
   The second pie filling option came about as an alternative to the mango melon idea.  It was suggested by Amy right about the time we were enjoying Jeni's individual baked Alaskas at the Splendid Holiday Celebration.  These little Alaskas included banana ice cream and curried caramel sauce.  Oh my... incredible!!  So Amy suggested banana caramel filling.  This sounded great right away.  Of course this probably was due in part to the fact that we were filling our pie holes with the ice cream version of this pie at that particular moment.  Once again, not sure how I am going to do it. But I am certainly going to make something happen.
   If while reading this you think... Oh I have no idea what you might be thinking!  But I would love to hear all of your crazy pie filling ideas.  Or your take on the two fillings mentioned above.  Bring it!!
