I made pie.
Actually, that's an understatement. Angela and I went nuts baking stuff today. The gigantic pumpkin I brought back from Chilliwack has but a small chunk used up; even after I made three pies. Angela used a huge number of local apples to make a big pie, two muffin-sized mini-pies, and a whole load of apple crumble. I really don't know how we're going to eat it all. Nevertheless, I feel some sense of accomplishment in having successfully duplicated my mom's excellent pumpkin pie recipe, even if I did take the mutinous step of replacing the whole wheat flour in the crust with pastry flour. Alas, the blasphemy! Oh well, I'm sure she'll forgive me someday.
Oi, so much pie...

You and Angela did great! It looks good and if your smart you'll cut it up and freeze some of it for later when you'll want a piece at work say. It'll be thawed by then.
Perhaps you'll try mixing half and half with whole wheat flour later. It makes for great, flavourful crust.
The apple pie was a hit with Jane, Sarah and Karly and you did an excellent job on the crust for that one. :)
I can't wait to try the pumpkin pie when I come over! The seeds are a really nice touch on the last one.
I don't have time to come eat things until the weekend. But if there is food, I am there!
