~~~    From the Editor      ~~~

I recently had an advertiser whose had some offensive and immoral
comments located near the bottom of his sales page.  I somehow
missed those references when I approved him as an advertiser.

One of my readers pointed out the comments and was surprised that I
would endorse such a product (the product was actually ok, but the
promotion of it was indeed offensive to my Christian ethics).

I appreciate that the reader would actually give me the benefit of
the doubt and allow me to explain/apologize for the error.  I hope
all my subscribers are that thoughtful.  And if you ever have any
questions about anything, please ask!

Have a happy week.  — Michael

As Easy as Pumpkin Pie
by Michael Webb
http://theromantic.com/

Fall is such a romantic season. Strolls under the harvest moon.
Dunking for apples. Watching the leaves turn to glorious shades of
copper, burgundy and flaming tangerine. But what I look forward to
most each fall is – pumpkin pie.

I heard a while back that the most exciting fragrance for men was
not some expensive perfume, but the smell of pumpkin pie. I agree.

Of course I do look forward to eating the pie, but the whole ritual
of making it can be nearly as rewarding (I did say *nearly*).
First, you have to get yourself a pumpkin or two.  Out of the can
just wont cut it.  Then you carve it.  No, not with some stupid
monster face, but with hearts cut out all around or some other
romantic design.

Then work together with your sweetheart to make the pie together.  I
usually mix all the goop while my wife makes the crust.  She makes
the best crust in the whole world.  Make some fresh hot chocolate
(don’t forget to add the miniature marshmallows) while the pie is
baking and maybe whip up a batch of fresh whipped cream.

When the pie is done, take it out of the oven to cool (and to fill
the air with its hypnotic aroma).  Meanwhile, place a candle inside
the pumpkin.  Then turn off all the lights so candle will reflect
the cut out hearts all over the room while you devour the pie with
your best friend.

** You can have a similar aroma effect by sprinkling a little
cinnamon inside the lid of a carved pumpkin and lighting a candle
inside.
