the great annual pie bake

Every year since we got married, my husband & I have held The
Great Annual Pie Bake on the night before Thanksgiving.
We eat some light, quick dinner, pop in a movie (preferably
one we've seen before or don't care about so we don't get distracted),
and pump out as many pies as possible. The first year was just
the two of us, Little Women, and 5 pies. Tonight (13 years later)
there were 20-some people, Napoleon Dynamite, and 26 pies.
The men usually run the apple peeler-corer-slicer with some help
from the kids, and my daughter makes a mad variety
of miniature pies. It's the best part of Thanksgiving!
