if you want more pumpkin pie flavor add more cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice Bars: 4 eggs 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar 1 cup vegetable oil 15-ounce can pumpkin 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda frostings: 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using an electric mixer at medium speed, combine the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin until light and fluffy. Stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and mix at low speed until thoroughly combined and the batter is smooth. Spread the batter into a greased 13 by 10-inch baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting. Cut into bars. To make the frosting: Combine the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.

this is scary...i use cl all the time Quote: (10-2 11:12 PDT Savage, Minn. (AP) -- A woman who went to inquire about a nanny job advertised online was found dead in the trunk of her car, police said. The body of Katherine Ann Olson, 24, was found in her car at a Burnsville park late Friday, Police Capt. David Muelken said. She was last seen by friends Thursday morning, when she went to meet someone in Savage about a nanny job. Investigators said she had found the ad on the Internet bulletin board Craigslist.org. A 19-year-old Savage man who police believe placed the ad was being held pending charges, police said. Authorities did not release his name but said charges could be filed as soon as Sunday. "We're confident we have the suspect in custody," Muelken said. Muelken declined to say how Olson was killed or what the motive may have been. A Savage resident found Olson's purse in a garbage can at Pacer Park. A police officer, thinking it may have been stolen, left a message at Olson's home saying police had the purse, Muelken said. Olson's roommate called back to say Olson hadn't been seen since 8 a.m. Thursday when she went to interview for the job. Rechecking the garbage can, police found a bag containing a bloody towel, Muelken said. A State Patrol helicopter pilot noticed a car in the parking lot of Rudy Kraemer Nature Preserve in Burnsville, a few blocks from Pacer Park. Police identified the car as Olson's, and found her body in the trunk, he said. Olson was a 2002 graduate of Park-Cottage Grove High School, where she was co-valedictorian, and from St. Olaf College in 2006. Olson's family told the newspaper she had taken nanny jobs at least twice before, including a job in Turkey, after answering online ads.

you tease!! your pics didnt work...they don't from kodak...i think they do from shutterfly though

natalie, you look beautiful and your family looks like they are having a blast!!!

that sounds great but a pasta might be a good idea for those that are vegetarians or kids that are fussy eaters

I want to give them a rough est. on the pricing for flights on our website and newsletter. well, air rates for nov. 2008 are not out yet...it would be cheaper for your guests to fly out of sfo than oakland and this year i was getting flights out of sfo in the $320-400 range usually. from san diego it was around $400-450 but if they are close to LAX it would be cheaper from there.

also, dont feel bad about FSIL...i hate booking my family...they are such a PITA. i totally would prefer if they didnt use me for their travel.

this is just a prayer thread for ur socal members dealing with the fires right now...sending good vibes your way that you and your homes were untouched by the fires. leigh jennifer natasha tasha and others...hope you are all doing ok

why dont you wait for the other TA...there may be a reason why she is taking so long to get back to you or maybe she never got your last email.

leia, i also help arrange transfers for your guest...it is $34 per person for roundtrip but it is worth it because your guests don't need to come at the same time and the transfer company is really nice and reliable

also, TA Jennifer is a sandals specialist so i am sure she can give you the nitty gritty.

Reggie, we were more than happy to help and if it brought a smile to your face and heidi's then we did our job. you two deserve the best!!

Do you guys know anything about either of these locations? Which is better? I've heard mixed reviews. Any info would be helpful. Thanks TA Jennifer specializes in couples...lets see if she will respond to this.
