12 November Sunday

Above, an interesting and unusual pie, a big surprise frankly. That is Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie, a recipe from Erin McDowell, queen of pastry. A cookie crust holds the cream cheese custard extended with pumpkin puree. There is no spice of any kind. It is a cheesecake that tastes like pumpkin and it is really quite very good.

Now my thoughts turn to Thanksgiving.
