Pumpkin Pie from October 2010

I love to have fun with my food!  We eat with our eyes first - it has to look good, then smell good - and of course taste good!!!  I'm very much in a baking mood since the weather has finally gotten a chill!

I want to appologize about the lack of response to comments.  For some reason blogspot keeps bumping me out when I go to respond in the comments section.  So I'm going to respond here:
Hello Thistle Bee!
Here's the recipe, it's from Bon Appetit September 2010. We used a blow torch used for plumbing because we couldn't find the fuel for my kitchen torch... of course it showed up a few weeks later!  Chocolate-Malt Cake Vanilla ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream is a must to cut the denisty of this delicious delight!
I agree - the hat matches his coat beautifully, but he's such a purist... much like my husband!
Have a lovely birthday!  Thanks for commenting!
