Turning a Pumpkin into a Pie

My friend Lacey and I decided to make completely homemade pumpkin pies. We even made the crust from scratch! I thought it would be harder but it is defiantly something I would do again. We had a fun afternoon doing this and the pies turned out great!

We started out with a little pumpkin. We cut the pumpkin up and took out all the seeds and stringy stuff.

We then boiled the pumpkin and waited until it got mushy and the hard back would peel off.

I cleaned the seeds, out some butter and a little bit of seasoning and salt on them. We then baked them and they turned out delicious. Lacey and I ate all of them before the pumpkin pie was done baking!

We then pureed the pumpkin so that there were so strings left and that it would be really smooth.

From that little pumpkin we made two completely homemade pie!

Yummy!

This provided Lacey and I with an afternoon of fun and girl time. I think in the process she might have convinced me to go skydiving.

Halloween

For Halloween my borther chose to be a zombie and I was Snow White. I felt that these costumes fit our personalities very well. Kyle even asked me to do his makeup to turn him into a zombie and I felt that I did a pretty good job.

Halloween was also the last night my brother was in town so while I worked he was saying goodbye to friends and packing. I was lucky enough to literally run into the airport and say goodbye. He will be stationed in Diego Garcia for at least the next year and I wish him the best of luck on his new adventre.
