Pumpkin Pie!

 My pumpkin as a flying squirrel.

I have been bad at blogging lately, but life is good.

Fall has finally arrived here in Southeast Louisiana.  Which means sometimes we get to wear coats and sweaters.  (Although other times we still wear skirts and short-sleeves.)

Yesterday, I made pumpkin pie!

Stefin had already gutted, boiled, and pureed the pumpkin meat a couple of days ago, so using some insights from this super-homemade-looking website, my job was easy as...

You know.

I mixed three "cups" (heaping ladles) of pumpkin mash with
2 eggs borrowed from the boys across the street
one scoop of vanilla ice cream (as a substitute for evaporated milk)
one cup sugar
cinnamon
allspice
mace
and a tiny bit of salt


Poured it in a pre-purchased graham cracker crust and popped it in the 425 degree oven for about 45 minutes.


For the top, I candied some pecans.  (Sprinkled on after the pie had finished baking.)


Not to toot my own tooting thing, but this pie was delicious!  (We're down to one slice now!)  Also amazing with a scoop of thick Greek yogurt.

Okay, love you! Bye-bye!
