Despite my formidable sweet tooth, at Thanksgiving I’ll always go for a second helping of stuffing with gravy over a slice of pumpkin pie. As with many things in life, however, adding some chocolate improves matters dramatically. A chocolate-lined crust casts a new light on a lush pumpkin mousse pie, while a dose of chocolate chips elevates a moist, hearty pumpkin loaf. Doctored Canned Pumpkin Puree Makes about 1 generous cup Use this mixture in the pie and the loaf. Be certain to choose plain pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling.

Happy times for Tiger Woods heading to a Ryder Cup
By Doug Ferguson Published 5:08 pm PDT, Tuesday, September 25, 2018 SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France — Tiger Woods paused on his walk toward the 18th green at Le Golf National and threw his head back in laughter. These are happy times for Woods, regardless of whatever Bryson DeChambeau said to cause such a reaction Tuesday. Now if Woods can get that to translate in the Ryder Cup. For all his amazing feats in golf — 80 victories on the PGA Tour, the most recent Sunday at the Tour Championship after returning following a fourth back surgery that threatened to end his career — Woods has been on only one winning team in the Ryder Cup.
