Woah, never heard of oatmeal pie. Sounds tasty, though!

Sounds like it might be kind of a chewy-sticky pie, I know! I'm hoping to try this sometime soon!

It sounds a bit like "poor man's" pecan pie. Let us know how it turns out!

Kind-of like a "chess Pie" or something. Never quite understood the purpose of pies filled with baking ingredients.

[missabyss]

I'm not sure what there is to understand... It's just a simple recipe for an ice-box pie. What is chess pie? Never heard of it...

I need to get me some pie shells.

Looking at a recipe I found here, I wouldn't be surprised if grandmas recipe was actually calling for a 1/2 lb of butter (two sticks). Don't know when I'll get a chance, but I am going to make this, trying it with that quantity.

I'm not all that big a fan of raisins... I mean, I like trail mix, cinnamon raisin toast is nice, but this just sounds delicious. I can't wait to try the recipe!
