>> But, mocking Walmart is as American as buying one of their pumpkin pies and putting it into your own pie pan and taking it to Mom’s for Thanksgiving dinner.
********************************************************
Do people really do this?
Homemade crusts: (fast & easy in food proc, freeze, use as needed)
Homemade pumpkin pie filling: fast & easy.
Of all the kinds of pies to make, pumpkin is the easiest and fastest.
“FReepmail” to anyone who would like a g-r-e-a-t recipe.
You asked if people really buy their pie at Walmart and then present it to family as homemade.
For the record: I have never done this. Sure, I'm so awful with pie crusts I use oil instead of lard, but my "company pies" are 188% homemade.
My 2nd youngest sister DOES THIS!! Only now that she knows we all know (and Mom has passed on) she doesn't even bother with taking it out of the Walmart package. She just kinda tosses it on the table , as if to say "And you're damn lucky I stopped at the store and bought it!"
