My kitchen is smelling goo-ood

[Marc Anthony]

I'm baking a pumpkin pie for a work party tomorrow, and its heavenly aroma is starting to waft around. I'm hoping this will be extra good, as I ground fresh real cinnamon for a change, not the storebought pre-ground stuff, which is really Cassia. I would've ground the cloves fresh too, but I don't seem to have any whole. I did add a bunch of fresh ground black pepper for an accompanying kick to all the ginger I used.

Should have made two...one for you...make that three. You can send me one too.

Black pepper?! Oh, yuck. My ideal pumpkin pie doesn't kick.

Nothing is more inviting and enveloping than a wonderful kitchen aroma.
