Countdown to Christmas - 58 Days
By Sandra Harper - October 27, 2009
Am thoroughly enjoying the run-up to Halloween. The city is having a full-blown love affair with the pumpkin. There areĀ  pumpkin patches, twinkling pumpkin lights, and inflatable pumpkins bobbing happily on the front lawns. Caught up in the mania, I purchased a can of pumpkin and made pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin bread. I used a bundt pan for the bread batter and when it was done, I sifted a little powdered sugar over the top. I don't know why, but people go crazy for bundt cakes. So keep this formula at hand: bundt cake + powdered sugar = elegant dessert.
