pumpkin pie for me!

I really do not like cake so I always asked for pumpkin pie for my birthday.  And then I started to make it myself.  I have actually started to modify the recipe (do not look at the crust, I am playing with that too.  What else is new, huh?).  I start with Libby's pumpkin pie recipe:

I changed the white sugar to brown sugar.  Added a tablespoon of vanilla and increased the ginger to 1 teaspoon.  It is pretty fabulous.  Just the thing for all celebrations!

And see what Russell has been working on:

Paring knife.

Camp knife.

The paring knife works like a dream on potatoes.  They are both for sale if anyone is interested.  Just let me know.  Maybe the will find a home in my kitchen.....  I get all the seconds and rejects!
