The pumpkin pie incident
Pies
Ok, so the final product might look fine. But you have no idea what it took to get to this point. A series of disasters the day before thanksgiving forced me to wake up on Thursday morning and bake a whole new pie early in the morning, before we had to put the turkey in the oven. Take 1: Pre-made pie crust. Yes, I admit, I bought a premade pie crust. I battle with pie crusts, and figured might as well take it easy on myself this year. Took the roll out of the freezer and let it thaw, then unrolled it and draped it in my pie pan. It was only then (and not at the grocery store where I should have noticed), that this pie crust was made for a 9" pie pan. My pie pans are 9.5". Failure #1. Any attempt at stretching the overly-sticky crust only caused it to tear. Into the trash it went. Take 2: Cookie pie crust. Lucky for me, I had seen a recipe earlier in the day for a chocolate chip cookie pie crust. I thought, it's perfect! It sounds delicious, and it doesn't require rolling. Sounds like
