It's a cruel, cruel world out there. Even the classic handheld comfort food, the innocent cupcake, is not immune to the cruelty of fame. After years of being in the spotlight, the little dessert and bake-sale favorite could be on its way out as Americans seem to be ready for something bigger.
It might be time for the cupcake to make room for an old-time favorite -- the All American pie.
Pies of all sorts -- cream, fruit, no-bake, semi-homemade -- are becoming trendy again making appearances in all sorts of places including Brooklyn bars.

“…to paint Clarke as a liberal justice secretary – or a conservative one for that matter – is not the issue in hand. The overiding factor in the coalition’s policy is the drive to cut costs.

"I had a stress reaction in my foot so I had pins put in it to keep it from becoming a stress fracture," Brad Meyers explained when I asked in an email interview about the injury that limited the Washington Nationals ' then-24-now-25-year-old '07 5th Round pick to just six starts and 30.2 IP in 2010 after He'd been named the Nats' Minor League Pitcher of the Year in 2009 . "They thought those pins were irritating the bone and causing pain so they were removed. Next, came the second surgery in which they put two larger pins in my foot on one side and went in and scoped the joint. Long story short, I didn't know if I was ever going to be healthy again.

Have to give a lot of credit to the many doctors that I visited over the last couple years along with the Nationals for helping me get it right."
