I've got a great pumpkin bread recipe, I lost it once and never could achieve the same moist results. Lucky for me there was a blog on disqus that people posted a lot of recipes and I asked if anyone had the recipe for pumpkin bread where you add two thirds cup water as you are mixing the wet and dry and ingredients and someone actually had the recipe. If you don't carve your pumpkin for Halloween maybe you can make a deal with your better half and tell them you'll cut and clean the pumpkin, soften it in the oven if she'll make you some pumpkin bread.
