Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: A Piece of Cake
I've been digging on red velvet cake recently.

I think my fondest pork memory is one from about three years ago: My wife shared our first kiss over bacon and Hostess ding-dongs. How could anything ever top that? :)

I'm curious to know if anyone who's had one of these has also had a Habanero Hamburger from the Prince of Wales Pub in San Mateo, CA?
Prior to it's closure, Habanero Burger there was a delightful treat for spicy food lovers.
Knowing the comparison between the two would be interesting.

Pumpkin Pie Ideas Needed
Several years ago, I found Cindy's Pumpkin Pie recipe that uses melted ice cream. I've made it almost every year since then and have enjoyed it every time.
The fact that the dairy component is ice cream is something that I would have never considered before, but it does help to yield a pie that isn't as dense as some other recipes.

It's somewhere in between. It needs to be crisp, but also a bit pliant.

Pumpkin Pie Ideas Needed
My recipe for pumpkin pie is a riff on the back of the Libby's can, and it always gets raves.
Use 1/3 cup dark brown sugar & 2/3 cup white sugar instead of all white
Use 1-1/2 cups heavy cream instead of evaporated milk (half & half is OK)
Double the spices, and heap the spoons a bit & add a teaspoon of nutmeg
Use 3 eggs instead of two

It depends if I am making pumpkin pie or pumpkin custard pie. There is a difference. One is a baked mashed pumpkin and the other is a pumpkin custard which is the one I really love. I use a can of evaporated milk or regular whole milk in a pumpkin pie and milk, cream and additional eggs in pumpkin custard. I never use condensed milk in pumpkin pie.

An eggnog pumpkin pie is THE way to go. My husband is in the Coast Guard and one of the great cooks on base would make these each year to sell for the holidays. She's moved on to another station now, but thankfully I've got the recipe and it's my favorite! Thanks Stacey!! http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-live/staceys-i-dont-have-any-evaporated-milk-pumpkin-pie-recipe/index.html

Don't have a recipe for this but I seriously love pumpkin cheesecake -- it's a thick layer of pumpkin pie filling on top of a layer of NY style cheesecake. It's amazing!

I have no problem admitting this...but I use the recipe on the back of the Libby's canned pumpkin.

I've been making Pam Anderson's recipe for silky pumpkin pie for about six years now. It's in her book CookSmart. There's no sugar added, but it uses both sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk. You heat a can of pumpkin puree with spices, and whisk in a can each of evaporated milk and condensed milk. You add the heated pumpkin milk mix to two eggs plus two egg yolks in a blender - tempering, of course - and blend until smooth. The first couple of times I made it, I ended up with more filling than crust, but not quite enough for two pies, and I filled ramekins with the excess and baked them along side the pie in a water bath. I liked the little ones so much that the past few years, I've left the crust out entirely and baked a full pie in a ceramic tart pan along side four ramekins in a water bath. It's more of a pumpkin custard - wonderfully creamy and light.
