| there are some repeat offenders on this list:
if you buy a couple of pumpkins, a large carton of cream, 4 sticks of butter, a dozen eggs, some brown sugar and a quart of milk, you'll be a good way to having all that you need for all of the recipes truffle oil, unsliced bacon, mini gourds and fresh pasta sheets are easily available at better supermarkets (eg: whole foods) or fine food stores if you have an old jar of pumpkin pie spice, throw it out and buy a new one. the flavor will have dulled considerably if it is leftover from last year if you don't happen to have stale gingerbread lying around (who does?) then day-old cinnamon raisin loaf is a great substitute gingerbread & butter pudding gingerbread / raisin loaf cream brown sugar pumpkin pie spice butter milk raisins dried orange peel / marmalade pumpkin ice cream pumpkin cream brown sugar pumpkin pie spice eggs milk | ||||
