The One Where We're Going To Bake A Pie

Picked Middle up at work last night, then she, Youngest and me dropped into the grocery store to pick up a few things. Primarily coffee, but also less important staples, like, you know, meat and vegetables.

I have written here before about the one in the middle. Turns out, I'm a little like her. So the episode in the grocery store went something like this:

We are in the produce section, because we need produce. Except not apples, because the neighbours went apple picking on the weekend and gifted us with enough apples to feed a preschool. What are we going to do with all those apples?

We should make a pie. Because it's Thanksgiving this weekend, and we have apples.

We will need a frozen pie crust. Because while I'm mildly intrigued by the old-fashionedness of baking a pie, I'm not THAT intrigued. And we will need sugar and cinnamon. The sugar and cinnamon aisle is on the way to the pie crust aisle.

Oh look, here in the sugar aisle. A great large display of canned pumpkin. We're making pie anyway. We should also make a PUMPKIN pie.

So we will also need eggs, and nutmeg, and evaporated milk, and...

We should make little pies as well as big pies. Let's get some of these handy little foil pie tins. And when we get to the frozen pie crust, let's also get little frozen tart shells and make TARTS! APPLE TARTS! AND PUMPKIN TARTS! AND DON'T FORGET THE WHIPPED CREAM!!

Now we have more things to make pie IN than we have to make pie WITH. SHOULD WE GET LEMON PIE FILLING TOO?

It's like having a little grocery store blackout. On the way out, as I handed over $30 + for pie ingredients, I pretended not to see the display of already-made pies for $4.00 each.

I'll let you know how the pies turn out.

Does this mean i am losing my Pie-lady status?

I haven't done any pies yet....and Thanksgiving is a few days away....perhaps i could borrow some of those pies when you are done?
