#35: Make homemade pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving

I had been wanting to do this one for quite some time, but had never had the opportunity.  This year I was a newlywed and decided to finally tackle the challenge of making a pie from scratch (sort of!).  I immediately decided to buy pre-made pie shells, since I knew I wouldn't have time to make it from scratch.  Naturally I waited until the day before Thanksgiving to buy them, and fought my way through the crowds to get the last pack at Dierbergs!

It looks pretty gross in the picture, but turned out very well, if I do say so myself.  :)
