Got Pie Lenses?
For as long as anyone cared to remember, Matilda Mudskipper's pies were the highlight of the Squidooville annual pie eating contest at the Squidoo State Fair.
Contestants come from near and as far away as across the pond just to get a taste of them. Well, that and the chance to win the big prize that goes to the Squid who eats the most pie, which this year is a trip to the Squidoo World Amusement Park and Resort.
In case you're not familiar with it, Squidoo World, is the home of the world famous Mickey Squid and hosts the world's biggest coral castle along with the world's biggest roller coaster and also the world's biggest water slide. As you can probably imagine, the place is huge.
Come to think of it, maybe the Squids are actually coming from near and far for the prize but Matilda's pies are pretty darn good too.
Anyway, and unfortunately, just as Matilda was finishing up this year's batch, her boys, Morton and Gilligan, got into a big argument about who could eat the most pie and before Matilda could say, "Knock if off!", the boys had tossed every one of her precious pies at each other.
To make matters worse, while performing the mandatory clean up afterwards, the boys accidentally "tossed" Matilda's recipes into the trash. Matilda was able to fish them out but with so much pie upon them, her recipes are now unreadable and worthless. What's a girl to do?
Matilda needs some yummy pie recipes and she needs them fast if she's going to have those pies baked in time for the contest. Can you help?
Do you have a tasty pie recipe lens that you can share with Matilda?
Help Matilda by sharing a pie recipe lens, or two, or three, new or old, to receive 200 SquidPoints and if Matilda uses one of your recipes, we'll feature it on a brand new Best-Of Squidoo MonsterBoard for all the world to see. Read on to learn more.

The pie is in the oven right now. I made a pie just for the quest because I wanted to add new pictures to the lens before I submitted. Did I miss out?
