    Sounds better than the peanut butter jelly sandwich! :) :) I found it extraordinarily strange. Still don't know what to make of it.

    Oh yum! These are now on my list to bake before next Thursday! I ran across something similar but with mashed sweet potatoes and dried cranberries--just to be a bit contrary :O)
    Thanks for sharing--happy Thursday!

    Man, it's too bad I'm the only person in the house that likes pumpkin, or I'd make those!
