  3. I used squash in place of pumpkin for this recipe. Although it is extremely rich, it has tons of taste, I did adjust all ingredients slightly, we enjoyed this very much! Thanks bluemoon!...Kitten:)

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority! <br> <br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
