So I had wanted to eat a pumpkin pie [okay, not the whole pie] for one of my ETs, but I got a little over eager on that front as I enjoyed my first slice of pumpkin pie about two weeks before le blog began. However, this being Thanksgiving weekend and all I sensed an opportunity to engage with pumpkin yet again. Today I baked a pumpkin pie. To be perfectly honest, the smell of it as I was preparing the filling and while it was cooking - that was almost better than the pie itself.
That is not to say that it was undelicious because it was. Delicious. I ate it while watching an informative program on Colossal Squid. I can't think of a more magical Thanksgiving than that. I don't really have anything else to say on this matter [I know - strangely unverbose of me - and yet...I am well over a week behind in posting, so perhaps it's for the best]. I don't have a photo, although the pie was indeed a thing of beauty. It's pumpkin-ness rising high and flecked with spicy spices...I was going to photograph it once we had removed a few of the slices so that one could view the inside...but I waited too long and the last three slices went moldy. A tragedy I know. However, I have all of the ingredients assembled and I think I am going to prepare another pie and possibly some pumpkin tarts in advance of my birthday. Yknow - to make people @ work like me and such.

I've made a pumpkin pie before, but this Thanksgiving was the first time I'd made a pumpkin pie from pumpkin I got from a pumpkin instead of a can. In fact, it was frozen pumpkin from the "almost cutting my thumb off" incident last Halloween. I should point out that I did not use the part of the pumpkin I bled all over.
Yes...I used the tinned pumpkin. I'm going to carve my first-ever pumpkin this weekend hopefully.
