Thanksgiving Pie Bake: An annual event...
Pies to be made this Thanksgiving season: 9
Pies baked: 2
Done fairly well. Liam isn't in bed yet and I've already done two pies. I think I'll start a third. I need six pies for a church dinner on Sunday.
It's definitely nicer this year than last year. I don't know why, but I'm actually liking the whole pie-baking thing this year. The crusts are coming together with little effort--that's probably why.
And of course, there's the fact that I haven't done the two lemon merengue ones yet. Those ones are a royal pain to make, but they are my specialty--just like Mom used to make. They are always the ones I don't get leftovers on. I'm saving those till Saturday, because if they are left in the fridge too long, the merengue pulls away from the crust and it begins to look yucky. Tho it still tastes good...mmmmmmm...
