Did you like the pumpkin? We did it before the fast and loved it. But the kids thought it was just OK, so I didn't repeat it for Thanksgiving. I really wanted to though!

Erin - we did like the pumpkin. I used proscuitto instead of bacon, and emmentaler swiss cheese, and lots of sage, and sauted the garlic and onion in bacon grease (leftover from breakfast that morning :) Not sure if the kids ate much of it, and I think it would be really good with a bit of sherry or white wine added, it reminded me of a really yummy cheese fondue. I will definitely make it again - perfect as an appetizer dip for company!
