All of these pie pics showcased in this post i took on my phone on Thanksgiving over the years at the homes of extended-family and friends who actually bake ( I don’t 😆). Cookery and Concocting (i.e., dressings, dips, sauces, cocktails! etc.) are more my forte. But I’m grateful for all the bakers in my life! and more than happy to serve up this visual pie parade showcasing some of their talents. Too bad you can’t help yourself here to a slice or two…
