Sugar Rush: Green Bakery's Pumpkin Pie
When Alaina brought in pumpkin pie this morning, my lame uncaffeinated reaction was: oh, another pie. Yeah, NOT just another pie.
The filling is packed with pumpkin power, and so soft, it's almost a pudding texture. (But still maintains its pie posture.) The crust has a deep graham cracker flavor that almost tastes healthy. Not really healthy, but in a bran-fiber cereal mixed with a lot of melted butter kind of way. There's plenty of pumpkin pies floating around this city right now, but this one is a winner.
