Say hello to the pie season!

n.n 
There are no words to express how happy I felt when this baby came out of the oven. 
At first I was slightly scared because it looked like a bomb ready to explode, but it all turned out okay and
quite good. 
I would have preferred it to be a little be more sugary and sweet, but then again I am crazy about sugar. 
The recipe was taken from Martha Stewart's Pies and Tarts Recipe book. 
The pumpkin pure was done from scratch... YAY me!

Oooh My Sweet God!

AHUEVO!
First allow me to apologize for my extreme excitement but you need to understand that the these(referring to the pic bellow this text.) is a very uncommon sight where I live in. Or maybe it was common and I hadn't realized it yet because my interest in cooking started not-so-long ago. 
But man oh man was I ecstatic when I came across this huge pile of pumpkins in my local supermarket.  


And you know what came to mind? Everything I could create with them!  
And then of course, the three babies that made my day... 


Sugar Pumpkins = ? PUMPKIN PIE OF COURSE! 
It's not even October and I will be able to indulge myself and my family and new and old friendships with the deliciousness of homemade pumpkin pie. 

Do I hear your mouths watering already!? 


A huge apology for the crappy photos... they were taken with my mobile so they could reach facebook and twitter in time ;)

Sublime!

 Hehe 
I am awesome, 
So the wonderful pretty state of Puebla (where this delicious Mexican Chillies were first created...) has stated that the Chiles en Nogada season is officially back. YAY! 
And I just had to give a go at this delicious teat another time. 
Practice makes perfect and having cooked for over a year... let's just say that my time 
has been greatly invested n.n 


I made the Nogada my way this time n.n And had loads of fun experimenting in the lab --otherwise called the kitchen, with yummy ingredients I thought would work out with the sauce. 
I made the stuffing with little variations of the original I made last year and it all turned out all right. 
The only thing that might've changed was that I didn't clean the Chilies really well this time, 
so they were slightly hot.
But they were delicious, absolutely delicious! 

These were a joy to eat!
