My 2 frozen raspberry pies are dual disasters. I'd sent Conan to the store to get Oreo cookie pie crust. Note to grocery store clerks: It is NOT IN THE FROZEN FOOD section, okay? It's comprised of crumbs of FULLY BAKED OREO COOKIES, and not frozen dough. My husband came home with frozen pie crusts that I needed to bake...and then cool. They came out of the oven when I'd blended the cold filling, which I couldn't do except put in the refrigerator. Since it has Jell0 in it, it set and now I've got two pies in my freezer filled with lumpy raspberry mess.
I guess it's not that bad. Tomorrow I'll cover the tops with raspberries so that people can't see that it's lumpy. I guess a pie crust is okay, but the Oreo cookie crust really goes so well with the blended raspberry filling. I am really trying not to be mad at my husband--he made an honest mistake, but when you've got to work a full workday before an evening cookout and don't have any time to re-create it, you show up at your friend's doorstep with lumpy frozen pie in one hand and a healthy dose of chagrin in the other.
