As a bonus, it looks like it would be very easy to cut and serve. I've learned, after years, that it's important not to overfill the pie shell. I have a pile of custard cups, so if I have too much filling I can make one or two mini, crustless pies. Fill, bake about the same amount of time as the big pie, remove with care, enjoy later at your leisure. Sometimes I even have too much pie dough, and then I can make a tiny pie just for myself. Mini pumpkin pie is an excellent breakfast. That pumpkin pi is quite awesome, Amy. As a bonus, it looks like it would be very easy to cut and serve.

Mine tend to, uh, overflow a little. :) Oh, and I should have finished my thought before hitting submit, or stopped thinking after I hit it, but anyway… your pies are much prettier than mine have ever been.

[I was a chem major before I added the math major.] I've been meaning to try and make <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/pumpkin-pi/" rel="nofollow">this</a> for while, but just haven't gotten around to it. Maybe this weekend. I sent out my very own, very geeky “happy Pi day!” email this morning, even though I’m a little more fond of Mole day, myself. [I was a chem major before I added the math major.]
