Lan: So it’s HOT there? We had some blissful days (see Jacqui’s comment), but today was blah–rainy, drizzly, cold. My car stalled again when I was leaving work. Boo.

RobinSue: I totally saw your pumpkin cake and have my eye on it. I keep buying more pumpkin–I might as well just try every recipe! And it you promise it’s good… oh, I will do it.

Jacqui: You had to go and remind me how mild our fall has been, didn’t you? As soon as I saw your “red and orange leaves against bright blue skies,” I was smitten with the season all over again. It helped, you could say, that my toes are numb at this moment. Brought me back to reality.

I have always hated fall, only because I hate winter so much. But this year…it wasn’t so bad. Red and orange leaves against bright blue skies; crisp, fresh air and brand new sweaters; 70-degree weather in November?! Um, yeah…that’s probably why I didn’t mind this year’s fall — the unusually warm couple of weeks we’ve been having. But winter is on its way, I can feel it. NOOOOOO!!!

The only thing that gets me through Chicago winters are soups, casseroles, and fuzzy robes. Oh, and food blogs.

I had a hard time falling into Fall this year. I didn’t want summer to end! But the beautiful color and foods win me over each time. And the fires in our fireplace too! I made a yummy pumpkin cake this week, give it a try, it is super easy and turned out great! Your muffins look just fine!

i used to say that Autumn was my fave season too. girl, i take it back. i like it in pictures and theory only. it’s an indian summer day today and if i had a camera, i’d be taking pix of everything outside and SWEATING. i’ll settle for lunch outside instead.

i’m glad you’re on your way to finding the ultimate pumpkin recipe. while i’m sure this tasted wonderful, i’m still not sold on it.
