Last weekend I went to four different stores looking for canned pumpkin for my experimental lowfat pumpkin cheesecake. I finally found it, bought 5 cans, and now have 4 cans to do something with. Next experiment: Pumpkin creme brulee.

My god I love this season. Chunky sweaters and puffy coats hide all of the goodies and comfort food that are taking a permanent residence in my midsection. By the way: that pumpkin cheesecake? Yum. I think I've finally lost the baking curse.
