Thank goodness for insurance!<br /><br />I made a sweet potato pie in October thinking my husband might like it. While he did eat some, he just said it was "ok" and didn't eat another piece. While he likes sweet potatoes he doesn't like pumpkin pie and for whatever reason the pie reminded him of pumpkin. Personally I didn't think it tasted a bit like pumpkin. Whoever heard of putting orange zest in a pumpkin pie?!<br /><br />I did make a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving though. We had plenty of guests that are fond of it. Unfortunately for some reason though, the filling bubbled up and over half of the pie crust within the first 15 minutes of baking. I was able to salvage it though and it tasted just fine. This year will long be remembered as the year of the Ugliest Pumpkin Pie EVER. I still can't figure out what happened. The pecan and apple pies I made came out beautifully.Oklahoma Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053304659210754009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8716611.post-75045110768105780122011-11-26T07:54:40.723-06:002011-11-26T07:54:40.723-06:00I love when the wild turkeys visit the field, some...I love when the wild turkeys visit the field, sometimes as many as 30show up.
