bake 20: pumpkin pie

progress is being made.  slowly for sure, but i'm confident i'll reach my goal before the years end.  this pumpkin pie was one of the two pies i made for this year's thanksgiving dinner.  i'm a huge fan of pumpkin pie- so i knew this was one recipe i had to take on.  and i'm so glad i did.  now if only i had remembered to take a decent photo.

recipe: alton brown's pumpkin pie with this crust

adjustments: i chose to make a traditional crust since i used gingersnaps for the cheesecake.  aslo, i'm a huge fan of spicier pumpkin pie, so i doubled up on the spices in this recipe.  turns out i wasn't the only one who preferred a bit more kick, so it was a good decision.

review: if i say so myself, it was a great pie.  for some reason it was a bit mousse-ier than i remember pumpkin pie to be, but trust me, that wasn't an issue at all.  also, the added spice made the flavor awesome.

this was #13 of the bake 20 challenge.

over the next five months i'm going to try my hand at 20 different baked goods.  there's no specific order and no plan.  just making things that look good and hopefully in the process, finding a new appreciation of baking.  feel free to join me in the Bake 20 Challenge.
