Last weekend I found myself in a pastry shop. It wasn't a planned outing, it just happens that a friend of mine lives right behind one of the oldest Italian bakeries in Philly and when we pulled up to her house, the scent was overwhelmingly appealing. So we wandered in and ended up spending more than $20 dollars on baked goods. While we were in the bakery, my friend Scott made the comment that he always buys his holiday desserts. Pointing at the cases all around us, he said, "Because really, why would you bother to bake when there's so much good stuff in the world."If you think like Scott and want to buy your holiday desserts this year instead of making them, you should check out this amazing-looking vegan apple pie that Sundance Catalog is selling this year (they don't normally sell food, so it must be outrageously good for them to have added it in with their offerings). Just make sure to order it no later than November 15th if you want it for Thanksgiving.

That's just depressing to me. Why do anything that someone else on earth might be better at than you? Pride and the sense of accomplishment, for starters...
