Very true! I have never bought their pies, but Ilene swears by them, so I decided to spend the money instead of the time making them. I do like buying their pork loins and cutting them up into chops myself and freezing them in packs of 2.

Trust me...it wasn't by choice to do 2 turkey meals in 4 days of each other!

So sorry J is going through so much trouble with her (?) knees! Poor pup! Those pinecone gnomes are too cute, but I do like the reindeer, for sure! Give thanks for the ILs money and don't think about how the BIL gets to spend his.....I'm thinking your "troubles" have made you stronger all the...
