Pumpkin pie from scratch!

I decided that I wanted to make Chad a pumpkin pie from scratch. When I read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver it inspired me to see if I could make a pumpkin pie from actual pumpkins, not canned pumpkin. It was actually much easier than I thought it would be. I ended up fighting more with the crust (also from scratch) than with the pumpkins. I don't know if I'll do the whole thing from scratch again, but it's nice to know I can. And Chad said it tastes great!

From these...

...to this!

Here's a nice slice with some whipped creme on top!
