You know some days can be really productive and others are just not so, well this is a not so for me. I can't believe its already 4.15 and I've only just got the pie in the oven. I am not really sure what I have done to day, as I still haven't started the washing, put away last weeks ironing, or dyed my hair (which is the most important thing to do to day, big night out tomorrow and I'm not going out these roots), or done any sewing. I have done a couple of the things on my to do list, but on the whole although feeling busy I'm not really sure where the time has gone, I think it has just been sucked out of the day. There are other days though were you just get so much done and I was wondering if some times time takes a little trip and visits another day, so some days have only 20 hours and others have 28 relatively speaking, well it would explain alot.

baking beans and pumpkin |


Anyway this is the first time I have come across this re-chilling before blind baking, yes I'm used to putting the pastry in the fridge for half an hour after making but before rolling, but not this, so if anyone knows why this is needed for pumpkin pies I would love to find out?
Well here's the finished article and also a nice apple pie as it's really not worth just doing one pie when you're making pastry. It's just as easy to make double the quantity and even if I don't use it straight away I freeze it up so I've some pastry ready when I fancy a pie, but today I was lucky enough to have some good cooking apples at hand.
Well I'm off now to dye my hair before it gets too late, I can't tell you about the taste of the pie yet, as it's still too hot to cut, but I will try to remember next week, and for now all I can say is it smells great and I'm looking forward to it.
warmest regards and have a great weekend all.
