I’m expecting eight for Thanksgiving. On one hand, it’s a
relief I’m not feeding at least twice that many. I can buy a small bird, and the
side dishes will be more manageable. On the other hand, eight people won’t justify
the five+ pies I’d like to make for dessert. There must be pumpkin. If I don’t
make pumpkin pie, Heather will say I did Thanksgiving wrong and must start
again. There should probably be apple, too. That’s already more pie than eight
people need, and I haven’t mentioned mincemeat, pecan, blueberry or lemon
meringue. I just had an epiphany: I can make two kinds of pie – say, apple and
mincemeat – in one pie plate. I’ll fill half the bottom crust with apple
filling; the other half with mincemeat. I’ll cover my hybrid pie with a top
crust, seal and flute. Apple and mincemeat have identical baking directions. If anyone objects, well, that can be my pie.
