It's almost that time. That one time of year when it's acceptable to eat your weight in pie. The best Thanksgiving dinners aren't even dinners. They're excuses to eat pie. Be honest-- it's the best part. Whether it's pumpkin, apple, pecan, or whatever monstrosity your mother-in-law has decided to chef up this year, you're making extra room in your already-full stomach to have a slice of each, with whipped cream. Don't fight it, just lean into it. It's that time of year.
If you're the person in your family who makes the pies, then you know you have a lot riding on you. You've researched the best crust techniques and practiced your latticework. Because you know you have the most important role in the whole affair. They might tell you it's the turkey, but we all know that it's going to be kind of dry and mediocre, whatever you do to it. Pie rarely disappoints. Even if it turns into a heaping mess, odds are it's still going to taste good. These are the laws of physics of Thanksgiving.
