"Pennsylvania and Some Homemade Pumpkin Pie"

I always think it is a tragedy when I learn that people have never had pumpkin pie! Which, as many of you know, is my ALL TIME FAVORITE holiday dessert! The great thing about pumpkin pie is that its so easy to make!

So Laura came down to visit me this weekend and we made the pumpkin pie together. She did a fabulous job of making the pie crust (I have to admit- something I have never mastered) and I whipped up (literally) the filling. To say the least it was a success- I let the crumbs speak for themselves...
