While the festivities of Halloween at OSIsoft were held yesterday with the 18th Halloween Pumpkin Decorating Contest, the enjoyment of the pumpkin pies I baked Wednesday night waited until today. For after a long couple weeks of travel, our fearless leader returned to the den, to be met with a back-load of work. So today it was decided the week should be concluded with a little Halloween cheer by serving pumpkin pie to pi folks. While I couldn’t partake in the specticle, the reviews afterwards were outstanding. So I will include the simple recipe for reference here.
