Sorry, no Pumpkin Pies this year.

I do make the absolute best pumpkin pie, which I am reminded of because of this recipe for Spicy Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie.

But since Offspring is expected to be borned within a few days of Thanksgiving this year, they should make a backup plan.

I'm not much of a pie baker, but I do make a mean cheesecake. Year before last it was a pumpkin cheesecake with "spiked" whipped cream (spiked with a bit of Jim Beam). Last year it was a caramelized apple cheesecake with butterscotch sauce. Emeril's dessert recipes rock.

NewEnglandBob detests pumpkin anything and would prefer to eat {fill in your own disgusting non-food choice here}.

I would boycott Dunkin' Donuts at this time of year due to their pumpkin this and that, but I kind of boycott it the rest of the year also.
