Pies!

Exhibit 1 – Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin Pie

Recipe from the Best Recipe cookbook. This one turned out very tasty, but could have probably used a few more minutes in the oven.

Exhibit 2 – Pizza Pie

Pizza Pie

Red, orange, green and yellow bell peppers (they were on sale at the grocery store). While the pizza was in the oven, Carrie and I took turns giving each other blind taste tests of the raw peppers. We both liked the red bell pepper the best, as it has a bit of sweetness to it. The green pepper has a distinct bite to it, almost bitter. The orange and yellow peppers were hard to differentiate. They were very mild-flavored, almost bland by comparison to the red and green. The pizza turned out great – the hardest part of baking these things is waiting for the oven to finish heating up to 500 degrees. Well, that and not burning my tongue as I stuff it into my face.
