it's all about dessert.
so spicyleesh's post about pie reminded me that i needed to check with mom and be sure she was making pumpkin cheesecake again this year. and damn, it's a good thing i checked because she's not!
so i told her to give me the recipe and i'll give it a shot. i know it will be complicated but i'm kind of in the mood to do a really complicated dish. it has to be made in advance which is a good thing... that way, if i can't do it, or if it fails, i can tell mom and she can throw together a pumpkin pie at the last minute.
she'a also making a new pie this year, pecan with chocolate and coconut. my boyfriend of many years past who had been a professional baker put together this astounding pecan pie for us one year, the thing was like a giant, round candy bar, and yes, it had chocolate chips in it. we still talk about it every thanksgiving. mom says she was sad when i broke up with him, at least in part because that pie was so damn good. so anyway, i think this is her attempt to recreate that pie.
i think i'll be eating my fair share of sugar this week.

that pie sounds AWESOME. actually both pies do. i made a pumpkin-eggnog pie once, which was just a really creamy pumpkin pie . . . i'm not sure i could handle the richness of pumpkin cheesecake. :)
