I like it! I loved Dorie's crust, but maybe it's because I've been using a recipe that uses all shortening in the past and don't want to keep doing that. I have the same issues with the large amounts of fat in baking.<BR/>Great job! Yep, I'd rather just have a little pumpkin pie and a bite of pecan and call it good.

Great job keeping up with multiple pies, multiple fillings, multiple crusts and your Dark & Stormys all at the same time -- that is some expert multitasking right there. Your side-by-side pie crust comparison is most helpful -- I'm definitely going to be trying the CI recipe for my next pie (if I don't turn to my reliable old friend Mr. Pillsbury instead).
