to make this week: another link round-up

• Creamy Pumpkin Curry Soup: I still have some canned pumpkin leftover from the All-Purpose Holiday Cake we made last weekend for our parents. I want to try making something savory with it!
• Double Chocolate Layer Cake: YUM.  Note to Chris! ;)  This would make a great birthday cake....

on the topic of pumpkins

Oh, this stuff is SO. GOOD.  We don't have any Trader Joe's in my area (so sad!), but my sister is going to college in Boston so every time we've visited her I load up while I have the chance.  I love fall!

 

I've been trying to find pumpkins to make some toasted pumpkin seeds, but I can't find any at the local grocery store!  I'll make a trip out to an orchard or something at some point before Thanksgiving, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to make a special trip out...sucks!
