Gratitude, Day 17

Have you ever had a Mrs. Smith's Apple Crumb Pie with Cinnabon topping? No?

Well let me tell you that you haven't lived until you've had this pie.

Our first married Christmas Andy and I got one for dessert because my job at the time didn't allow me the extra time to whip up one of my usual concoctions. I've been addicted ever since.

All my life I've preferred cake to pie. I think it has something to do with the fact that I can bake anything except pie. Pie hates me when I try to make it myself, so I leave it to the professionals and eat my own cake. One day I'm going to conquer it, but for now I'll settle for eating Mrs. Smith's.

It's snowing outside, my home is toasty warm, and I have a freshly baked pie. It's been a good day.
