My assignment for tomorrow is to make two pumpkin pies, one relatively spicey and one not-too-spicey. Tonight I make the crusts, and tomorrow the kids and I make the pies.
If you’ve made pumpkin pie before, have you got any advice?

I really like this pie recipe from Paula Deen. It’s very fluffy, though I’m sure it’s as unhealthy as it gets.

Don’t overfill the pie crusts! The filling will expand while baking. Also, put a cookie sheet on the shelf below the pie (not the same shelf the pie is on) while in the oven, to catch any drips or anything that bubbles over, so you won’t have to clean the entire oven if that should happen. Also, make sure you know which pie is which! Enjoy, and happy Thanksgiving!

I have a friend who was once making pumpkin pie, and looked up a recipe on the internet. The only problem was it had a little punctuation problem– it had an upper-case ‘T’ where a lower-case ‘t’ should have been (‘tablespoon’ in stead of ‘teaspoon’). So at 5 in the morning, he’s racing to the 7-11 to find more allspice, since he didn’t have *nearly* enough. *That* was a very spicy pie.
Brew a few bags of a good chai tea into a little bit of water and add it into whatever recipe you’re using.
