ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteDid you like the pumpkin? We did it before the fast and loved it. But the kids thought it was just OK, so I didn't repeat it for Thanksgiving. I really wanted to though!
ReplyDeleteErin - we did like the pumpkin. I used proscuitto instead of bacon, and emmentaler swiss cheese, and lots of sage, and sauted the garlic and onion in bacon grease (leftover from breakfast that morning :) Not sure if the kids ate much of it, and I think it would be really good with a bit of sherry or white wine added, it reminded me of a really yummy cheese fondue. I will definitely make it again - perfect as an appetizer dip for company!
