Pumpkin Pie

You would think that we would have had enough pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving.  But for the holiday hostess and I, that just wasn't enough.  Since neither one of us got any pie on Turkey Day, we went straight for the nearest grocery store, and then another one and another.  Only to discover that Burbank was sold out of the famous squash!  The man behind the deli counter at Ralph's pointed us to the display at the front door (which we had passed on the way in).  We walked back thinking that we must have missed something only to find an 8' table, two wooden cartons with some lonely display straw.  Nothing.  Nada.  Rien.  Nienete.  We promptly bought all of the ingredients and baked one.  It was delicious.
The pies were gone by the time we got to the dessert table.
