    I think it's worse these days in the social media era. You get all these photos of 15 smiling people standing around a table full of food porn and if that's not your reality it can make you feel bad.

    I just dislike all the work and the waste and the spending. Listening to people say "faaaaammmmmlllyyy" like it's some kind of cult is just baffling- at worst, to me.

    I bought the pies and not a single one was opened. :disappointed:

    OMG! Pie, the best part of the meal!

    "Food porn", LOL. I was really good this year and ate reasonably. So much so I was a bit hungry 7 hours later when we home and fixed a small cheese quesadilla. But I would have been even happier with some you your pie, Ident!

    B-lux, I meant to say THREE pies. I got auto corrected. I think we were just too full for pie. Actually I think I was too tired to be hungry. Kinda like how now I'm too tired to sleep. That half cup of choice I had at midnight has nothing to do with this, I swear!

    I'm having pie for breakfast. :smiley:
