Should I go ahead and make a pumpkin pie or not?

[Can'tTurnLeft]

We are having a big thanksgiving potluck tomorrow. I signed up for pies. So far nobody else is bringing a pumpkin pie. I make a slammin good pumpkin pie....but I kinda don't wanna :shifty

I've made a pecan pie, an eggnog pie, and I have a third pie crust. The bee wants to make a lemon merengue pie, but it seems like such a pain....

[Apple-Saucy]

Hmmmm.....I don't know.

But I must have the egg nog pie recipe. I must I must. :yes

[mommylove]

You've put forth a lot of effort already. Personally, at this point, I'd go with convenience over impressibility. :shifty

[houseforjoy]

do you need a third pie? if you want something different a key lime pie is super easy to make

[Can'tTurnLeft]

I have a third pie crust all made up and ready to go. And I make good pie :) And I don't have room to freeze the crust, so it seems a waste to not make a third pie :giggle. It is fifty sailors, I'm sure I could use a third pie ;)

[houseforjoy]

okay then i would make a pie. whatever kind you want to;)

[ThreeKids]

It is imperative there be pumpkin pie at a Thanksgiving potluck. Maybe even 20 pumpkin pies.

Can'tTurnLeft's Eggnog pie

2 c. sugar, superfine is best
2 T. flour
6 eggs
2/3 c. buttermilk
1/3 c. butter, melted
2 t. rum or rum extract (almost extract will work also if you don't have the rum)
1/2 t. freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 t. salt

Mix and pour into an unbaked 9" pie shell. Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes, until it is set. Refrigerate overnight. Right before you eat it sprinkle the top with superfine sugar and put it under the broiler watching it carefully to brulee the top.

wait.... so there is no egg nog in it??? does it really taste like eggnog?? (says the super addicted to eggnog lady)

i make my pumpkin pie with eggnog:shifty or melted vanilla ice cream

That eggnog pie looks delicious! Mmm, maybe we should make one to take to FIL's. He'd appreciate it. :yes

that sound delicious. and your typo amuses me. :giggle "almost extract"

Confucius says: One can never have too much pie.


Aisling says: bake an extra and mail it to me. :shifty

[houseforjoy]

i laughed too, i almost had to make a reply of :
"almost extract:scratch:scratch what is that? rum that is almost extracted but gets drunk instead:shifty" :giggle

[kwisie]

:roll

[Little Forest]

Houseforjoy, doesn't it have all the ingredients that eggnog has? I think it's the eggs and rum and nutmeg that make eggnog eggnog. ;)

What kind of heresy is it to have Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie!

when i make eggnog at home (because sometimes it's not in the stores and i neeeeeeeeeed it) it is eggs, milk/cream, and sugar. rum is optional and not in the store stuff and i never use it. i think the buttermilk is what is really throwing me


so what did you do? what kinda pie did you make :poke

I did not make another pie. I gave the pie crust to my friend and she is making a pumpkin pie :)
