Linda, this sounds yummy! Can't wait to try it. Wonder if you could use sweet potatoes instead of pumpkin for a change up? Thanks for the recipe, it will be a great addition to my collection of holiday recipes! Too bad our boys of the night don't eat pie! Oh well, more pie for us ladies!

Hey, can we have this when I get there in January? I'm on a diet so I should be at a point where I can splurge, calorie-wise by then. It sounds great!
Oh, Scarlet, Marek can eat pie, since he's not a "real" vampire. In fact, he has a weak spot for junk food, especially Pringles!
Oh my God! that sounds so good. What a great idea to change the pumpkin pie thing.
Yummy!
Soooooooooo, I have been told, by a little birdie that the "boys" can eat pie as well as drink hard liqour! Imagine, the best of both worlds, they can enjoy Linda's heavenly pie and chase it with their favorite Brandy!
By the way, the first post was made from the new mini-computer and no, I am not liking it. The reception isn't what it should be so, I will return it!

Linda, that recipe rocks! Soooooo many calories but so yummy!
Hmmm... Wouldn't it be *wonderful* if someone brought this to the GRW party next weekend...? (No, I'm not volunteering... already down for something else:))
Is that a hint, Barbara?
I'm not wild about turtles in my pumpkin but this looks super!
This recipe is a keeper and perfect for this time of year. Thanks for sharing, Linda. It's so different!
Linda, This recipes is delightfully sinful. I've printed it out and will save it for special times. YUM! thanks
