Don't I know it.

I am planning a Thanksgiving dinner for a bunch of traveling nurses
who are on assignment here in the SF bay area. Due to many of us
working on Thanksgiving, we will more than likely be having dinner the
weekend after.

Of this group, there are a few nurses that proclaim that they are good
cooks, and they offered to help with the cooking, and putting on the
meal.

One suggested to me (knowing that I love to cook) that she could go
pick up some pies from Costco, since it would save a lot of time, and
"Costco does a great Pumpkin pie and other desserts that are just
like home made". She suggested that we didn't need to kill ourselves
doing this, which is true, but I am not going to sacrifice flavor and
quality in the interest of expedience.

I suggested to her that I preferred homemade. Now I am wondering
what her idea of good homemade food is, if she thinks Costco pies are
just like homemade.
