This cake is mostly why you should forgo Halloween candy altogether. Just after Halloween, grocers and bakeries tend to have too much pumpkin stuff in stock, so everything gets marked down for a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving arrives--at least, here in the South. Because I lack fundamental baking and cooking skills, those few weeks are generally the only time that I'm able to get my fix.

Alas, for those of you capable of working an oven, here's a recipe from Libby's to use with your leftover pumpkins!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (to sprinkle on towel)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional)

Directions

PREHEAT oven to 375 degrees F. Grease 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan; line with wax paper. Grease and flour paper. Sprinkle towel with powdered sugar.
COMBINE flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt in small bowl. Beat eggs and sugar in large mixer bowl until thick. Beat in pumpkin. Stir in flour mixture. Spread evenly into prepared pan. Sprinkle with nuts.
BAKE for 13 to 15 minutes or until top of cake springs back when touched. Immediately loosen and turn cake onto prepared towel. Carefully peel off paper. Roll up cake and towel together, starting with narrow end. Cool on wire rack.
BEAT cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter and vanilla extract in small mixer bowl until smooth. Carefully unroll cake; remove towel. Spread cream cheese mixture over cake. Reroll cake. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

My first effort at replicating this Mexican street food went well with my fresh masa from the Buford Highway Farmers Market (even if there was some slight bean leakage).

Good food at Julian today, but really crowded. We waited in lines at the cider mill & pie shop, then waited for a table at the BBQ place. So worth it! Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Forget the pumpkin. Thanksgiving, says New Orleans native Michael LeBlanc, is all about sweet potato pie.

Nandos From the moment I woke this morning until the moment they fell asleep  this evening, I have spent the day with the children - it's the first time I have done it in months, and it was wonderful. We packed quite a lot into the day; a bus journey into a big nearby town (for some reason the children think going on the bus is the most exciting thing in the world), new shoes for each of them, a new set of clothes for each of them, lunch at Nando's (their favourite eatery), a DVD each from the bargain bin in HMV, and a small pocket money toy each. Quite why the younger two chose to buy Playpeople circus elephants is anybody's guess. Arriving home, Wendy had been busy building flat-pack IKEA units, and sorting through clothes, toys, dressing up costumes, and various other assorted brickabrack. Little Miss 5 very proudly showed off her new party shoes (which will inevitably become her school shoes at some point very soon indeed). They are black patent, shine like a mirror, and the heals light up when you step - she demonstrated by dancing like a 1920s vaudeville act. I made dinner today too; pizzas all round. While this might sound like the easy option, it never is in our house because our eldest daughter is Coeliac (gluten intolerant), meaning I have to make the pizza base - and given the pecularities of dough minus wheat, it's damn hard to make it just right. More by luck than judgement it worked, and she ate enough for a small football team. One of the more strange effects of being Coeliac is that she never really feels full, so we have to also watch how much she eats too. It has been tiring, but it's also been good to give Wendy a well deserved day off. She's out now with her brother, having a drink and some grown up conversation. Hopefully they will be arriving home soon with Indian food. I'm starving!

This is yet another great hangout at Pizza Hut with colleagues.

Dont complain me the picture quality of photos. Because I love to take picture to capture the event.

All right, there is an intresting thing in these pictures. Farooq said some thing and Atif started hiding himself. If you are watching these pics, please must ask Atif what Farooq told him. lolz :p

I'm sorry, but for $9 bucks, I expect more than this!  I don't give a damn if it's the Ritz.
I expect first rate soup.  Usually I'd get soup AND a sandwich for that.

My Mamma made the best french onion soup.  It comes to about $2 / bowl.

All three of us ate for about $11.
