Life of Pie

Tonight I made pies.  It was reminiscent of last November when I was making pies like a wild man in our attempt to move a bunch of pies for Thanksgiving.  We did okay with that but found it to be a lot of work.  We really haven't pushed that at all this year and to my knowledge no one has asked for a pie.  Perhaps the pies just were not that good and so we are not getting return business.  It could be early still.  We'll see what happens next week.  Anyway, tonight was a pie making night because we are out of just about all of our pies and I needed to get us caught back up.  I knocked out 16 pies in a couple hours.  Not bad I guess but really, it could be quicker.  Whilst making the Hazelcream I thought about doing them on a much larger scaled and loading up the huge commercial Hobart mixer.  The thing is the King Kong of the Kitchenaid mixer.  It is huge and would handle a few more than 16 pies at one time.  Hmmm, maybe I should look into this pie making thing after all...
