While trying to decide which desserts to share after dinner the other night, my friends and I starting talking about pie, and what kind of pie was our favorite. Mine is peach, but it has to be made with fresh peaches, and preferably it is the the peach sour cream pie that my mom used to make me at least once during the summer, because I've never tasted a peach pie as good as that one. I then volunteered that I'd personally never made a pie in my entire life - there are just too many steps, the opportunity for failure is so high, and also I really prefer to eat desserts that are made for me, not desserts I have to make for myself. And so making a pie is in the category of Tasks That Are Way Too Daunting, and I am certain this is exactly what would happen to me if I even attempted it.
