Pie Fest 2011

In our family the best thing about Thanksgiving is the pie, and not just pumpkin pie. We make a variety of pies and desserts and have small samplings of all. This year Amy had to work until 5:30 so we weren't going to eat dinner until 6. We knew that if we ate at 6, it would be a long time until we were hungry for pie. Soooo, we decided to have pie in the afternoon before dinner. This year, we had 8 different kinds of pie and 2 other desserts: apple, pumpkin, berry, coconut cream, milk chocolate mousse, bitter chocolate mousse, pecan, and a lemon cream cheese pie. In addition we had a pumpkin roll and molten chocolate lava cakes. Yes, all that for 13 people! Not much of any pie was eaten as we were all just having small slivers but oh man, they were so good. I think I tasted everything except for the chocolate stuff and the berry pie.
