Bringing cherry pie to work tomorrow to feed to the cow orkers. Just a little thing I do sometimes.
They don’t know.
Nice!
I just got apple cake and ice-cream from a colleague 
We had our Thanksgiving Lunch yesterday. I picked up some mini-cupcakes (chocolate), brownie bites (chocolate), pecan tarts, and chocolate chip cookies at the local bakery and provided these as one of the desserts.
They’ve barely been touched. :mad: So it’s OK to eat a casserole that’s been sitting out all morning, but not a little chocolate-frosted cupcake?
I guess they wanted you to bake. Or maybe a dislike of chocolate and nuts.
Fresh cherries? Canned?
I once took an honest to og home made cheesecake to the thanksgiving office free-for-all. As an afterthought I made some super easy “Dirty” mashed potatoes. As in scrub the potatoes, cut up, boil, drain, mash with butter and cream.
One piece of the cheesecake got eaten. The three-quart crock-pot of potatoes was cleaned out. Never again will I fiddle with a spring form pan.
I made an applesauce honey nut bread. I brought it in at 7:00 am - it was gone by 8:00. I made one for home, too. 
My son is bringing the pie(s) for Thanksgiving. French Silk and apple. And maybe pumpkin for his girl’s family, if they must.
We are huge on the Relay for Life thing here at my work. Currently, the way they are getting donations is employees can bring in a home made treat and donate it – the company sells the treats in the break room and the proceeds go to RFL. I have twice brought in fudge (my recipe is literally 1 can of Eagle’s Brand, 1 bag of chocolate chips, 2 Tbsp butter and a Tbsp of vanilla melted in the microwave) neither time did the fudge last more than an hour. I have been asked to make some more – it’s a huge hit.
I like to bring in the fudge because while my family likes it, we really just don’t need to eat that much fudge! I make it, we all get some fudge to fill our cravings and I bring the rest in for the Relay
When I read the OP, I thought she meant that the coworkers didn’t know who brought them pie.
Like a little office fairy leaving pies around.
Inigo, that is just so cool! Cherry pie rocks hard (if the crust is firm.)
And Litoris, thanks for the fudge recipe. Next time you read a post of mine, it will sound chubbier.
And howcome the new spellcheck-thingie objects to “Litoris” but not “Inigo”?
-I’m a dude
-They don’t know who brought it
-I’m not a fairy, I’m a Spaniard. We’re just a little more flamboyant is all.
Canned cherries, never tried it with fresh ones but now I’m intrigued. I’m hoping I can get settled enough next fall to put up about 50 pounds of pie cherries so I can better control the flavor of my pies, but things are still pretty chaotic right now.
What’s a cow orker? Is it kind of like a cow poke? Do they only eat cherry pie, or will any old pie do? And how do you ork a cow?
The curiosity is killing me!
Have you never seen an office feeding frenzy? That’s where the cow part comes in. He could have said pig-workers, but it loses a little something, don’t you think?
I buy fresh cherries only for pie-making. But I can never find “sour” cherries in my area, which are supposed to make the best kind of pie. The sweet ones are very good too, I add a little lemon juice to make it a bit more tart. You don’t need quite as much sugar. I recently saw frozen cherries and might try my pies for next week with that.
Fresh peaches are one of my favorite fruits for pie. Mmmm. Nothing like warm peach and flaky crust.
Hmm…I must try this peach pie.
After the chocolate/frangelico cheesecake I’m developing in my evil little mind.
I’ll find my recipe for peach pie at home and post it later. I was apprehensive at first because I thought the fuzzy skin would be weird, but after all the cooking I hardly noticed it. I forgot to mention, if you do fresh cheries, you have to have a good pitter. Sometimes not worth the trouble, depending on the type of cherry. Some of those suckers are hard to get.
I highly recommend Morello cherries in a jar. The very best for pies when cherries are not in season.
When I was a tot I learnt to pit cherries with a potato peeler. Just poke a slit in the bottom and then flip the cherry over and poke the peeler through the stem-hole and ‘viola!’ the pit slips through the slit.
Yeah…I can’t say that either.
What’s so hard? I just spit the seeds out…
…what?
