NOTES : NOTES FROM THE COOKBOOK: Kermit the Frog made a special guest
appearance on "Live" to promote his book "One Frog Can Make a Difference:
Kermit's Guide to Life in the 90's". When Kermit was asked why he had
selected this recipe to demonstrate, he said, "Well, um, we picked
Shoofly Pie because we thought it was the easiest of the recipes to
convert from swamp to studio cuisine. Usually it is served with lots
of green flies dotting the top of the pie (actually it serves as a
fly-catcher). Since we left them out of the human version I still think
you're missing a lot of the taste, but they didn't want any flies on the
show." While we are sure Kermit's family enjoys the frog version, we are
quite honestly glad he prepared the human version for us !!
