We cook: Pumpkin Bread

I made two big loaves of pumpkin bread yesterday, loosely following this recipe.  All I can say is YUM.  I love pumpkin bread...although between the pumpkin bread and the pumpkin beer I drank, I think that my stomach is getting confused and thinking that it's fall already.  I've been craving apple cider : )
