And I'd also like to take this opportunity to wish a very Happy 92nd Birthday to my grandmother and namesake, Nancy Frechette! She has made more pies than any individual I know (she used to make over 20 for Thanksgiving alone - every Thanksgiving!) It's very fitting therefore that we celebrate a love of pies on her birthday!
