Look at that crimping on the pie crust...wow!
Hot out of the oven...the aroma, heavenly!
First slice of this season's first pumpkin pie...oh, yum!
I will just say, for the record, that I moved the liquid pies from the counter to the oven as it can be very tricky. Everything else was done without any supervision. Why, I wasn't even in the room!
You might find it a little amusing that it's only been a year since we learned how to make a pie crust. And it's only been a year since Rachel actually submitted to a bite of pumpkin pie. Oh, how her world changed after that one little bite!
Needless to say, having slightly warmed pumpkin pie topped with cold whipped cream on a chilly Friday night in October was an incredible treat. And here, I always thought pumpkin pies were just for Thanksgiving.
Everything's a little nicer when there's pumpkin pie nearby...and a sweet little girl snuggled in next to you enjoying the work of her hands.
I don' know if YOU know, but PUMPKIN PIE is my very, very favorite pie in the WORLD! Rachael's looks just like my Mom's. I Always remember at Thanksgiving and Christmas Mom would bake the pies the night before and her and I would ALWAYS have a warm piece of her famous pie before everyone else. No whipped creme, we didn't need it. Thanks for the memories. Only thing that could be better is someday sharing a piece with you and Rachel. Something to look forward to some day :)
ReplyDeleteI love you. ((((Hugs))))

Yummy! :)
ReplyDeleteAunt Elle, I have a very fond memory of the first Thanksgiving after our mother left. Grandma came over and made Thanksgiving dinner at our house...we hosted it that year. I remember watching her roll out the pie crust for pumpkin pie and I can still see her mixing together the stuffing. Memories are amazing, aren't they. I am thankful! I love you too and would always love to share a piece of pie and a cup of coffee with you.
ReplyDeleteAmanda, you know we'd love to have you and your lovely sisters over for pie! Yes, you can bring your Mr. Wonderful along too :o)
Much love all,
Michelle
