I really do not like cake so I always asked for pumpkin pie for my birthday. And then I started to make it myself. I have actually started to modify the recipe (do not look at the crust, I am playing with that too. What else is new, huh?). I start with Libby's pumpkin pie recipe:

I changed the white sugar to brown sugar. Added a tablespoon of vanilla and increased the ginger to 1 teaspoon. It is pretty fabulous. Just the thing for all celebrations!
And see what Russell has been working on:
Paring knife.
Camp knife.
The paring knife works like a dream on potatoes. They are both for sale if anyone is interested. Just let me know. Maybe the will find a home in my kitchen..... I get all the seconds and rejects!
