*Storebought pies are of the debbil. Don’t do that. Pies are ridiculously easy to make, and the house smells so good when they’re baking.
*If you have a full house and need to set up a separate table for the kiddies, try to orient it so that you can reach the back of the worst kid’s head with a spatula. That way you won’t have to get up during the meal.
*Put a long-handled spatula next to your plate.
A couple quibbles:
Pie is easy to make. Pie crust is possibly the hardest thing on the planet to make properly. I think I’ve had three really good pie crusts in my life. And store bought pie crusts, while nasty, are generally better than those people make at home, sad to say. Know your limits.
And be nice to your red-headed cousins. We know you just hate us because we’re beautiful, but really, you’re going to have to get over it.
