Let them eat pie

Mark and I got to eat two traditional Thanksgiving dinners: one with the Wilsons and one with the Wasatch front Williams families. The main difference between the two dinners can be summed up in the picture below. Welcome to Wilson pie heaven. Grandma Wilson is surely beaming down on us.

Pies (front to back): cherry, deep dish blackberry, pumpkin custard, chocolate mud pie, Dutch apple, pumpkin, Aunt Nancy's chocolate, and frozen yogurt pie!

Kim sent me this appropriate poem by Shel Silverstein:

Pie Problem
If I eat one more piece of pie, I'll die!
If I can't have one more piece of pie, I'll die!
So, since it's all decided, I must die,
I might as well have one more piece of pie.
MMMM--OOOH--MY!
Chomp--Gulp--'Bye.

Look at Eliza plotting to snag a piece or two

Suzy and Ryan: the chefs of the chocolate mud ice cream pie

Kim: the chef of death by chocolate (aka Aunt Nancy's chocolate pie that needs whipping cream to dilute it)


Bryce: the chef and chief consumer (plus Dad's help) of the cherry pie


My idea for next Thanksgiving is to substitute Kraft macaroni and cheese for the turkey dinner, so we can devote all our time and appetite to pies.
Thanks to all the pie and custard chefs: Bryce, Kim, Suzy/Ryan, Danielle, Mom, Heather, Becca/Jordan
