I'm making the aforementioned pumpkin pie and Marlborough apple pie from CC -- with maple-pecan ice cream, from the Jeni's cookbook, on the side.

As a tryout for T-day, I made the caramel pumpkin tart with cornmeal crust and pumpkin seed praline from last month's Fine Cooking. I scorched the caramel and wasn't too keen on the crust, but I liked the pumpkin filling. It was kind of a cross between pumpkin pie and pumpkin cheesecake. I think I'll make a regular pie crust and use that filling (but double it). And definitely the pumpkin seed praline. That stuff is like crack. I'm also making a pecan pie.

Glad you tried that pie Darcie, I have been drooling over it. Of course, no one likes pumpkin pie in my house. I need a different focus group.

I have never made a pumpkin pie and I seldom have room to try it at TG dinner after those pieces of apple and pecan. It does sometimes rate a breakfast food the morning after, though.

I have been hearing some BZZZZZZ about pumpkin brûlée pies recently that may add enough interest to kick pecan pie out of second place. I guess I need to start looking for recipes.

Our weather forecast for Wed. is 6-10" of snow that may alter our travel plans so I may have plenty of time to bake on Thursday.

Jim, the Today Show just promo'd a Pumpkin Pie Zbtulee for their next segment, so you should find a recipe on their website shortly.

I make an old recipe from a 1950's cookbook with a slew of eggs and an embarrassing amount of heavy cream. It more than fills a pyrex deep dish pie dish (with some left over). It is very custardy and light colored. I make a couple extra every year at request, so I am happy with it.

I also use fresh roasted pumpkin, which I know few people do any more.
