Sigh, the infamous pumpkin pie. I got everything out before I realized I didn't have a rolling pin. Blurg! Or a shortening cutter. Double blurg! I made twice the amount of pie crust that I needed, making plenty of room for error.
 |
| Tried the white/green plastic plate as a rolling pin, but no cigar... |
 |
| ... But the potato masher was an incredible shortening cutter! |
 | ||||
| Here is my invention of a rolling pin: off-brand Pam wrapped in plastic wrap. |
 |
| Success! Thank you Alton Brown for the plastic wrap idea! |
 |
| Lots of drama to get to this point. I'm glad I made lot-sa crust! |
 |
| Almost done! Looks... okay. |
 | ||
| After a long time of trying that cool finger-pinching thing my mom does to her pie crusts, I forked it! Ugh, now it looks like a trashy diner's chicken pot pie. Oh well. |
 |
| Don't tell me nutmeg isn't in the recipe for the pumpkin part! I will not have it! It will be freshly grated in the batter regardless! |
 |
| My moment of anxiety: Did I halve this recipe? Will all this batter fit in my pie crust? |
 |
| Oh good! Yes it will! |
 |
| Pie in the oven, chopped potatoes in the water... |
 | ||||
| Ugh, here's my non-Moonshine yam. It's supposed to be orange! Blurg. |
 |
| Finished pie product! I hope it's good tomorrow! |
