Pumpkin pie

[goeduck]

My pumpkin (actually squash) pies yesterday were a disaster,. Not because of the filling, but I rushed the bottom crust.

I bought myself a store bought Chocolate Creme Pie for Thanksgiving, it was quite tasty!

He sounds like me; never met a pie I didn't like. Daughter said she decided to try another new recipe and made a pumpkin cheese cake this year, and it was very good.

My wife made that this year. Pretty good. Made with home made sugar pumpkins.

Cheesecake is a Sacrement dat is not to be contaminated.
Only a godless savage contaminates cheesecake.

No egg yolks, no nothin but cream cheese, eggwhites proper whipped in a chilled copper bowl, sugar dat had vanilla beans stored in it for a month and just enough peanut oil to coat de pan so gramcraker crumbs stick dere. NO cottage cheese, NO Ricotta, dem is for other things like creampuffs and canoli.

Chocolate and nanner best like butterskotch with proper custard made wid eggs, milk, sugar and flavor as baby sister tells to do. Egg yolks from cheesecake go in custard. Dat waay dey not go to waste and serve proper purpose, few can go on dry dogchow too cause dogs deserve fine food.

The "Pumpkin Pie Spice" flavoring Fad of the last few years has ruined pumpkin pie for me. It all tastes really nasty. Now, I enjoy everything but Pumpkin.

Dat called MRE in polite conversation. Might be acceptable in certain circles like where only thing girl can make in de kitchen is restaurant reservation but not in (removed)'s world.

Punkin custard easy enough to stirr up wid punkin, eggs, sugar, milk, cinnamon, ginger & nutmeg. You built wid taste buds, use em before you ladel de pieshell headed for oven. Index finger pretty much perfect dipper fer testing. Whole deal only a problem when you makin few hundred punkin pies.

If dat's Paw Lick Tickle, tough piecrust!

I used to think that too. My favorite was home made sweet potato pie(still is...)

BUT..... a couple years ago my wife started making pumpkin pie from scratch... It is really good! And it is relatively easy. It's easy to cook the pumpkin and make your own custard(a pumpkin pie is really a pumpkin custard pie)

Most pies I've had I think were baked with filling from the store. Turns out most of that is not even real pumpkin. I never cared for the flavor of those pies no matter who made them..

To each their own. I personally can't stand pumpkin pie. I'd rather starve than eat a bite of one. What a waste of whipped cream. Just eat the whipped cream off the top and throw the pumpkin pie in the trash where it belongs.

:laughing:

Punkin fer pies real hard to find around here. Nobody growing dem, and most don't know what pie punkin is.

Dey real easy to render down in turkey fryer outside to keep all moisture out de house if you got no summer kitchen.

We grow are own cooking pumpkins, sometimes you'll see them in the grocery. My wife makes are real good savory pumpkin soup. Each time she makes it, the flavor changes, as do the ingredients. The last one had a number of different peppers in it. Actually, i'll take the soup over the pie, but it's by a narrow margin.
