Oh no, missing dessert

Allegheny — Wed, 23 Nov 2016 21:36:48 GMT

Kind of worried, we may be missing our dessert for tomorrow.

Two weeks ago, DH called our local pie lady and placed an order. He was told it would be delivered today and they would call prior to arrival. I know they may be running late, but getting concerned.

Oh well, it is what it is. It just the three of us, we'll live.

Hopefully nothing bad has befallen her, and she is just behind. If she has been reliable before, I'd be worried if she doesn't show.

Speaking of behinds, mine could easily miss dessert tomorrow!

@Allegheny Oh No!!! Hope your pies are delivered.

I have some pecan pie bars in the oven. I normally make pecan pies but thought I would try the bars this year.

Happy Thanksgiving.

If the pie lady doesn't make it, run to Walmart in the morning and get some ice cream.

You can knock out a pumpkin pie pretty easily. Buy a can of pumpkin, frozen crust, can of evap milk, couple of eggs, and the spices that you probably already have on hand. If not, they will be readily available at any grocery store.

The recipe on the back of the can is good. I just cut back a smidge on the sugar, cut back the cloves a little bit, and increase the cinnamon by a fair amount.

Or those Patti LaBelle pies that posters were raving about on another thread.

Her husband helps her do deliveries and he has only been here once before, so he may be lost. She has a good reputation and I am sure if it doesn't get here tonight, they will be delivering early tomorrow. It just concerns me that something may have gotten messed up with our order.

As far as going to Walmart, nope, hard to believe with as many of them that are around, our closest is 35 minutes away. If I need to I can throw together cherry squares, tonight or run to the grocery store early tomorrow morning. My husband likes chocolate pie and whipped cream, making that is as simple as falling off a log.

Happy Thanksgiving All!

You always must have a Plan B .....

You can just run down to the grocer and pick up a pie ... no biggie ..... right?

I always order Petit-Fours from Swiss Colony. Except this year. I forgot.

Now they are coming for Christmas. I'm sure there will be plenty at my sister's tomorrow.

I hope your pie arrived. I bought a Pumpkin pie from Jewel, our grocery store, and it is delicious. The spices used made it outstanding and serving it with whipped cream even better.

@Allegheny, Did you call to find out when they are delivering the pie????

Re: Oh no, missing dessert

I would love to get a pie delivery. Lol

Hope they're on the way

Yes, my husband did, but got no answer and answering machine didn't pick up.

However, all is good. Her husband showed up about 7pm. Gosh I felt sorry for him, he said he had 18 more deliveries. We're very non traditional and got her coconut cream pie. It is better than my mothers. And for only $13.00 with free delivery it is well worth it.

this is why we always keep a schwans fruit pie or cream pie in the freezer......easy to bake when you have a "dessert emergency."

just finished baking homemade pecan torte and a homemade cheesecake. i am so done for tonight. we are also having pumpkin pie and apple pie from a local farm......and turkey sugar cookies.

Glad you got your pie! By the way, has anyone tried Marie Callendar's pumpkin pie (frozen)...it is delicious and a great pie to have on hand even if you don't have a "pie emergency!"

Well I just finished making 9 pies, so I think we will have dessert.

Well I have to share something comical about the pie delivery.

So the guy called us from about 1/2 mile away and DH gave him very detailed directions on how to get to our house. Like "when you come up the lane you will see two houses, at the Y stay right and turn into our driveway. Porch light will be on."

I watched him drive up the lane and of course, he went to my brother's house.

My brother, his significant other and her family were having Thanksgiving last night. They were expecting a male friend of her daughter who they never met.

When the door was opened (by another family member) my brother's girlfriend thinking the delivery guy was her daughter's friend, loudly greeted him with "Well come on in and join us". She saw pie in his hand and thought how nice he brings a pie. She also thought to herself, I'm gonna have to talk to my daughter (20 year old), this guy looks a little too old for her to hanging out with.

I wonder what went thru his mind. Anyway, after they sent him down to our house, they all burst out laughing.
