    I can take pictures. But I think that may just make you more jealous Innocent

    I wished I liked pumpkin again. Due to an unfortunate, um, incident, I will never think of pumpkin the same way again. :(
    I'm not good at feelings.

    Well I combined some recipes. Here is what I used for the pumpkin cheesecake:

    I didn't make my own crust though. I bought a pre-made chocolate one. I followed the cheesecake part of the recipe, then I melted down chocolate chips, drop dallops into the cheesecake and swirled with a knife.

    Yummy, thanks!  And you're a cheater - you gotta make your own crust!  I'll forgive you if you send me some.

    I know I should have made my own. Lets just say I wasn't that motivated. If I had a food processor to crush the intended crust pieces it would make my life a lot easier. DH gives me all sorts of crap because I don't follow recipes. Like ever. If I do follow one usually one of two things if not both occur 1) I make sure he knows that I fully followed it to a T and 2) They never seem to taste as good as if I alter it in some way. I don't follow them to be lazy, I just use them as a guideline/ idea and develop it into something that I think sounds even better.

    I would have enough to mail - as the recipe made enough for about 2, so I have a second pan of just cheesecake with no crust. However, I don't think cheesecake will hold up very well in the mail.

    Oh and I don't know if I ever mentioned, but I ended up trying eggplant. My first reaction after taking one bite was:

    "Dear God this is one of the most horrendous things I have ever tasted."

    I had been reading up on eggplant recipes online and what I gathered is that perhaps I didn't make my eggplant soon enough so it took on too much bitterness. I'm not brave enough to try again. Blech.

    That's amazing that something sounds good that contains two main ingredients that you do not like. :)

    I agree. Being someone who loves to cook, and learn about food, I can't just follow a recipe.It's way more fun to use your own ideas, and feels great when something you created yourself turns out good.

    Oh, and that sound AMAZING. I love love loovvee pumpkin everything. Coffee, cake, pie, bread, cheesecake, muffins....
