    I made this pie to try out before Thanksgiving. I used a store bought crust so I can't comment on her crust recipe. I liked the pumpkin filling. The meringue burnt in about one minute in the broiler yet wasn't cooked in the middle. I feel cooking it at 325 for about twenty minutes might have been a better idea - that's what I do for my lemon meringue pies. I think it'd be a little stressful to make for Thanksgiving, but I'll make the filling for my pumpkin pie.

    HI MSLO, while watching the show this am I decided to make the spiced pumpkin mash while watching your show. While I did not have a swap out, I continued to watch. But I think I failed pumpkin baking 1 0 1! Once the pumpkin cooled it had a had skin on the flesh. What could I have done wrong and was it still good?
    Also, I made the short rib, stout pot pie... Had questions on subs, went with butcher recommendations....it was insanely delis!!
