Easy As Pie
by Michael Webb
http://theromantic.com/

Fall is such a romantic season.  Strolls under the harvest moon.
Dunking for apples.  Watching the leaves turn to glorious shades of
copper, burgundy and flaming tangerine.  But what I look forward to
most each fall is   pumpkin pie.

I heard a while back that the most exciting fragrance for men was not
some expensive perfume, but the smell of pumpkin pie.  I agree.

Of course I do look forward to eating the pie, but the whole ritual of
making it can be nearly as rewarding (I did say “nearly”).  First, you
have to get yourself a pumpkin or two.  Out of the can just won’t cut
it.  Then you carve it.  No, not with some stupid monster face, but
with hearts cut out all around or some other romantic design.

Then work together with your sweetheart to make the pie together.  I
usually mix all the goop while my wife makes the crust.  She makes the
best crust in the whole world.  Make some fresh hot chocolate while
the pie is baking and maybe whip up a batch of fresh whipped cream.

When the pie is done, take it out of the oven to cool (and to fill the
air with its aroma).  Meanwhile, place a candle inside the pumpkin.
Then turn off all the lights so the candlelight will reflect the cut
out hearts all over the room while you devour the pie with your best
friend.
