To me, a pie is only worth eating if made fresh. I can handle homemade
pie leftover, but commercial pies have nasty crusts to begin with and
don't improve with time between baking, purchase and consumption. It is
one of those items that I'd be sad to eat knowing it could have been
soooo much better if I'd done it myself.
I like to make my pies early on TG day. While I'm doing the stuffing and
prepping the bird the pies are baking. Just a nice time early in the AM
for me alone and worth the hour of lost sleep.
