Hurrah for the Pumpkin Pie!

DH and the girls made a couple of homemade pumpkin pies today. (Okay, the shells were store-bought.) To begin with, here's part of a pumpkin, after the squishy stuff and seeds have been taken out, and after it's baked in the oven for a while.

Next, mashing the innards. And mashing. And mashing.

An interesting collection of pie ingredients.

That looks better.

Et voila!

50 Pumpkin Points for anyone who can tell me where the title of this post comes from.

Was it from Ed Grimley's book, "Hurrah For The Pumpkin Pie, I Must Say"?

Nice try, Scottius, but no.

Nice pies, BTEG. Presbytera made some too, and I had two pieces, with reddi whip.

Aren't you supposed to wait until after Thanksgiving dinner, Chaplain? In any case, a pie just isn't a pie without the whipped topping! Now, were these things sugar free??

Over the River and Through the Woods....

Are you bringing your pies to Grandmother's house? Or staying home? In either case they look great and Happy Thanksgiving!

Ding ding ding! Marie is the winner of 50 Pumpkin Points. And we took the pies to my sister-in-law's.

Mmm, looks good! We wolfed down our pies here in record time. Good thing I normally only bake them at Thanksgiving.
