Sheri - really--I'll leave it to you in my will!!! Made the pumpkin cake this morning and, boy, that batter tasted so yummy! Anyway, made it in a bundt pan and it came out great. Haven't sliced it yet--have to wait for the birthday boy to get here before we cut it. Anyway, the frosting tastes great too. If I were just making it for me, I wouldn't even frost it. I'd rather have it plain, but since it's for a birthday, I figured I better frost it or my friends won't come here any more (I think they REALLY come here for my bread--tonight is Baked Potato Bread. We're having my Mom's Pork and Sauerkraut (I know, I know). I put apples and onions and dill in the kraut and then make mashed potatoes to put the kraut and juice on. But I did buy a LEAN pork loin roast and I'll just have a little. The salad is a WW recipe--Beet, bleu cheese and toasted walnut salad. If you left out the bleu cheese (or used a flavored soy instead) it would be okay for IBSrs. The dressing is OJ, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, chives, S&P, olive oil (1 tbsp). The nuts I use are left over from the Holidays and they're candied so I crunch them up really good. The beets go on a large curly lettuce leaf (you don't have to eat that) and then the beets, cheese and nuts. Then I go out on the deck and pick one pretty pansy to sit on the top (they're edible, you know). What's funny is that half the people eat their pansy and half don't. Guess you have to be there. They taste kinda peppery.

So, Sheri, do you think these people come here to see us or do you think they come here just for the food? I've been trying to figure that one out myself!!

Did you want the recipe for pumpkin soup? It's made w/real cooked pumpkin and you can probably sub turkey bacon (I just bought some today) for the pork bacon. Let me know.
