Happy Pumpkin Pie Day!! :)

i know thanksgiving day is all about the turkey. i still am an amateur about this things and slowly (really slowly!) trying to get into the turkey-thanksgiving day thing. since we really don't celebrate thanksgiving in philippines. and the fact that i am still scared even with the thought of roasting/basting/stuffing a 20 lb turkey (we got it for free then i gave it away!).

anyways, as my first attempt to make something that is known for thanksgiving - pumpkin pie. after pumpkin-cream cheese splashing all over my kitchen counter top (which i think bubbles enjoyed!) here is the result of my hard labor...

isn't it gorgeous? delicious looking? i know.. this was actually my second attempt. the first one came out okay too but this one the better looking one.

too bad my sous chef (yes, horacio is usually my sous chef) is not around. no one was there to look after my work and take pictures of me as i make my first pumpkin pie... as he did when i made my first fruit tart (see previous post).

anyways, (pat-on-my-shoulder) i did a pretty good job. i now just hope that i tastes delish as it looks. horacio's family and aunts will be the judge of this.... crossing my fingers, hoping for a good review!!!
