This pumpkin custard pie has delicious flavor, thanks to caramelized pumpkin puree and fall spices. Baking the hot filling in a chilled crust produces a smooth and shiny, good-textured custard and a well-baked crust for this holiday dessert. Works well with crumb crusts too, such as graham cracker or gingersnap.

Bulgogi Beef (Korean-Style Barbecue)
In the best examples I've had of beef bulgogi in Korean restaurants, the meat, while tender, still had a little bit of chewiness to it. You can control texture by the thickness or thinness of the slices and how long you marinate them. But this Korean-style BBQ recipe has a fairly fast-acting marinade, so I go with an hour or two.
