Love this….when I was a kid my family was driving to a potluck, and my mum had made a big crock pot of homemade beans. At one point, my dad had to hit the brakes hard and needless to say the lid flew off the crockpot and it tipped over, leaving half the beans on the car mat at my mother’s feet. I still remember her grabbing the big spoon she’d also brought and carefully putting as much as she could back into the pot…and we were all sworn to secrecy. As kids, we didn’t care anyway, as beans were not on the top of our favourite potluck foods. But I do remember the adults all complimented my mother on her delicious beans and the secret was never told…and no harm done!
Loved the story. I agree, salvage what you can and enjoy. Life is too short, and expensive to lose out on that delicious looking pie.
I love friends who know the value of a dollar and a strawberry pie.

They probably even tasted better having flown through the air! Air fluffed beans. =) Your story made me smile so big. And homemade beans...yum!
I don't think I have ever had a strawberry pie..it is now on my bucket list!
I will bring one to you! =)
