For the last year or so, I've been joking to my family that if I ever have my own cake shop, I'm going to name it "No Pies". Simply because I'm not really good at making pies, and they really aren't fun for me. Case in point.....Thanksgiving pies.
I went to the store, bought everything on my list, returned home determined to make the pies I'm supposed to bring to dinner tomorrow night. I sprawl everything out on the counter, start mixing things up, and realize...NO brown sugar!! Back to the store I go. Come home, and finish mixing everything up. As I remember, last year when I made this recipe, it made two pies. I look at the mixture and thing "Hmmmm...this looks like it will fit in one pie". DUMB!! Duh, tried that last year and it didn't work what makes me think it will work this year?!?! Put the top layer on the pie, and it overflows. Oh well, put the pie in the oven, and think "Gee, that top looked funny". Re-look at my recipe, and didn't put enough cream cheese on the topping. UGH!! So, I think to myself "Well, it will be just fine". Pull the pie out of the oven after baking for 15 extra minutes...gee pie doesn't look done. Think "Maybe as it cools, it will firm up". NOPE, wrong again. So, needless to say, 11:00, run to Walmart, get all new ingredients for the pies, and start all over again!! Pies are now in the oven, and if it doesn't work this time......I'm making cake!!
NO PIES!!
I was assigned to dessert this year. ALL the deserts. I don't make pies either. So I made a cheesecake, fudge, cookie sandwiches, and oreo bon bons. That's right, no cake. I've been constantly harassed about why I'm not making a cake for thanksgiving and nobody in my family seems to get that while I love making cakes, I get paid to make them all the time and sometimes I just want cheesecake!!! Is that so much to ask?
I have to say, as I made my last trip to Walmart, and walked by the pies, I was very tempted to just buy a couple of them!! 
However, my dad's SO always requests the "frosted" pumkin pie, and I promised I make them, so here I am....midnight....baking pies!! 
pies.......................yeah i assigned taht atsk to my 5 year old....that wat we had an excuse to use all the easy stuff..............easy pumpkin.....already made key lime pie filling.....etc etc......
figured this year I have to do it all with my baby bump in the way......so Im being lazy.....So i had a no pie motto either..........
at least thats what i told hubby when he said ...."isnt baking your thing, why is jessica making pies!"
