      Pie and Dessert Situation: Shades of the Pedigo Hotel! Master Pie Baker Kay Burton has layered a pie with both butterscotch and chocolate in one pie! We'd been hoping someone would emulate the system once used at the old Edmonton inn. The hotel was famous for baking individual pies and stacking them. Customers got a thin slice with many flavors. Now Kay Burton has a creation which works on the same principle! She's due in today, maybe, to add to this pie and the cocanut pie already cooked. Other desserts We've got Hawaiaan Dream Cake AND Banana Pudding!
      Cantaloupe. Watermelon Sliced today, chilled, and ready to eat. Delicious!
