Pumpkin Pie...
A photo essay:) (behind the cut)
We started with a pumpkin that grew in our garden.
Charlie cooperated and hung out in the bumbo while we were cooking.
Note the notches--that's where a raccoon tried to steal our pumpking.
All scooped out.
All right--so the photography got lost in the shuffle--but we steamed the pumpkin, peeled it, pureed it and mixed it with all the goodies (including homemade evaporated milk because I didn't have any and Charlie went down for a nap FINALLY and we were not going back out since we still had to make birthday dinner in addition to birthday pie)
Ready for the oven.
Out of the oven.
We had a backup ice cream cake so the candles went on that and Lily is singing Happy Birthday Daddy in her two dollar plastic microphone that works amazingly well.
It was super yummy:)
