Oh, you didn't really offend me-sarcasm doesn't write well! Your
recipe looks great, by the way. I am always responsible for the
desserts at holidays since I used to do it for a living, so I like to
have fun with them. Last year, I made a pumpkin cheesecake with a
gingersnap crust, a Cranberry Upside Down Cake, and Gingerbread, made
with a 1/2 cup of fresh grated ginger- spicy! If anyone is interested,
I posted the recipe for the cake in the food/soap opera group under a
post about No Pumpkin pie this year...
