Classic Pumpkin Pie
Description
Avocado, watermelon, pumpkin - these are a few of my absolutely favorite foods.
Pumpkin is a highly flexible fruit (yes, it's a fruit, not a vegetable!). It can be made into bread, muffins (see my recipe at http://www.ecomeg.com), gingerbread, cookies, pancakes, pudding, pumpkin butter, soup, ice cream, cheesecake, and, my favorite, pumpkin pie. In my view, pumpkin pie even trumps strawberry shortcake, which I chose as my wedding cake because cakes can't be made out of pumpkin pie. No, I'm actually not joking.
As a pumpkin pie connoisseur, you might logically expect me to share with you my favorite pumpkin pie recipe - so here it is!

I shall try this recipe for my dinner next weekend. Thanks! I especially like the idea of half and half instead of the evaporated milk. Nice.
