Maple Pumpkin Rum Cheesecake

We are just at peak fall color here, mother nature has decided to cool off, the kids are wearing their Halloween costumes all day long, and it feels like fall to me, finally. We were expecting lows of 29 F last night so I had to put row covers over the spinach, bell peppers, beets, and lettuce.

The thing that makes me feel most fall-like is the smell of wood fires from all the wood stoves around us. Our house is built really tight and gets lots of solar gain so we are not using our stove yet.

Something else put me in the autumn-mode. Last week I received a review copy of a cookbook by George Geary called “The Complete Baking Cookbook: 350 Recipes from Cookies and Cakes to Muffins and Pies” and I have been pouring through its many recipes trying to decide WHAT to bake for this review.
