I'm not the biggest nut fan in the world, but your pie did look good on FB the other day. <br />My parents' set is a few years old, so I didn't know about the color variations, but the deck, where that picture was taken, is the most comfortable room in the house, and that is the most comfortable chair, hence, DH loves to sit in it. <br />You are right, the spices do have something to do with the color. But yes, when he gets that canister out and starts shaking it down in there, it is a sight to behold! Good luck within playing with it!

I am incorpo...I am late to the party, but PIPER!!!! I am incorporating some of your ideas into that awesome idea for pecan-topped ( and maybe bottomed!!!) sweet potato pie I'm playing with! This rocks!!!! And I hadn't thought of using Graham cracker crusts for spice pies until I saw this, and then I remembered that Abbott's frozen Custard (my Achille's heel) put chunks of graham cracker in their pumpkin pie custard flavor... not regular pie crust. And I loved it, but hadn't thought of it! Wonderful idea.<br /><br />Like Tina, I love the furniture. So country sweet and virtually unfindable these days. Did you know that almost all living room furniture is in some shade of tan/brown/cream now?<br /><br />SO BORING!!!! I had to find cute country stuff for $75 on Craig's List and the college girl said I was the ONLY ONE to call about the set... in a month!!! :) Laughing because I love it! <br /><br />PIPER!!!! This is awesome stuff. I get the color reference because the shade of "burnt orange" tells us if the spices are just right. :) (I am humoring husband because there is no such thing as too much cinnamon, is there??? shh, do not tell him I said that. )<br /><br />Can't wait to play with this!

I called myself doing a research project on the Amish when I was a teenager and wanted to become Amish so much, just for the pie (and all the other good food). I am a native Pennsylvanian after all. Alas, I had to stay a Presbyterian.

Naturally, DH got to do all the fun stuff and you had to do the prep. Why is that? Guess they're used to use spoiling them.<br /><br />I can't recall if I've ever had sweet potato pie. I want to say I have, but it's obviously been years. Not sure it would fly with my guys though. I have one who won't eat pie of any kind. Why? I don't know. He's just weird, I guess. And since we only had pumpkin and apple pie for dessert on Thanksgiving, I don't know what he ate. Poor guy, needs to learn to broaden his horizons. Of course, he'd much rather be watching James Bond with your husband. :)Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-18039617115485126212013-12-02T12:59:22.146-05:002013-12-02T12:59:22.146-05:00Good thing Dad doesn't do the Internet!

I am held in great esteem in my larger family as a good piecrust maker (I will even make "cookies" just to have them sometimes...). But the crust works well--it all has this autumnal flavor that just works! And if it saves me time to generate some more words...well, I learned how to go with it. <br /><br />We have no dogs. I look forward to looking at Thatcher growing up so I like to look at his pictures on Mondays. And yes, the pic was taken just as he took his first bite, so he got the whole piece!
