Food: It's pie time we had some Thanksgiving around here...

 

 

Pumpkin pie was the first pie I learned to bake. Aside from making the crust, which takes a little practice (and a lot of patience), it's about as simple as a pie can be. The raw ingredients - flour, butter, eggs, sugar, and spices - are staples that you probably already have lying around your kitchen. From there, it's just a matter of following directions.

 

I've tried this filling and this crust and obtained good results, but most pie bakers have recipes they swear by. This Thanksgiving, I hope your go-to pumpkin pie recipe serves you and your family well.
