Hi Stephen

I've posted my recipe on the off-topic thread, I make it every Thanksgiving, at families and friends request. You are welcome to it
Oh!..Msina posted a great one too!
Sorry, Msina...I was typing away and didn't realize you had already posted one for him!

I think my jeans are getting tighter from all this good cooking! Never mind that I haven't eaten a thing yet, I'm sure the calories are oozing out of the monitor and onto my butt.

(The pumpkin bread did turn out delicously; we have pretty much polished off half of the small loaf--the large one may make it until Thanksgiving--but probably not--and besides, you can't save and eat every good thing in just one day. ( I ended up not having the amount of white sugar the recipe called for, so I substitute one cup of brown sugar.) I did add the chopped nuts and sultana raisins and they were a good addition.

I hope I get to bake Msina's cranberry bread recipe before T-day, if not I know I will before Xmas.
