update: I reheated both today together with some chicken broth, on a frying pan with a lid, and it was surprisingly good! Now it's almost gone.

if I had to analyze what went wrong, I'd say I didn't use enough broth; but also I think the bread cubes I used were not good to start with. I used Pepperidge Farm herb flavor cubed dressing, and won't be doing that again. I'll cube good bread next time.

But no resolution yet as to eggs or not!

Thanks everybody in any case!

Way! Love pumpkin in pretty much any form. And not that I dislike pumpkin pie, but there are other way yummier pumpkin desserts to be had - pumpkin roll with the cream cheese filling, pumpkin cheesecake, etc.

Save your eggs for breakfast, they're great with toast but unnecessary in dressing.

@cybercita ~ thanks so much for posting this. I'll take a wild guess that 2 cups of vegetable oil is a typo?

@angelfood ~ my hands-down favorite ice cream is pumpkin and I didn't have a recipe, even though I own an ice cream maker. Thanks for sharing.

Tip: If you have an ice cream maker like mine where you store the cylinder in the freezer ~ it makes a perfect wine/champagne chiller for the larger bottles. So yes Alton, it does multiple tasks.

here is the cake recipe as i got it originally. i up the spices considerably, using about a tablespoon each of the cinnamon and nutmeg, and two teaspoons of cloves. i also use a teaspoon of cardamom and include a thumbs worth of fresh ginger as well. it can be frosted with an orange glaze -- orange zest, juice, butter, and confectioner's sugar -- frosted with cream cheese frosting, or left plain.

it's a dump cake -- just dump all of the ingredients into a big bowl and beat.

pumpkin spice cake
3 c flour
2c sugar
1 t salt
1 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
2 t cinnamon
1 t ground ginger
1 t freshly ground nutmeg
1 t ground cloves
2 c vegetable oil
1 15 oz can pumpkin
4 eggs
combine all ingredients in a large bowl and beat at medium speed for 4 minutes. pour into greased and floured 12 cup bundt pan. bake at 325 for 1 hour or until done {there should not be any wet spots under the top cracks and a tester should come out clean}.
cool 20 min and turn out on rack.

thanks again everyone.
here is the report. I tried both, and both were flops. They were equally bad. I think I was afraid of putting too much broth in the dishes and they turned out too dry for me. couldn't tell the difference in taste or in consistency.
Might have to try it again next year.
Although I am thinking of giving the leftovers a go again today!

My Mac & Cheese it's so good I never make it. Can't control myself. Ditto noodle kugel. Veggie pot pie but it's so much work I rarely make it. Broccoli pasta. Hard boiled eggs mashed with butter and salt and pepper with potato rye rolls slathered in butter and some sauteed spinach. I bake a double batch of rolls and keep them in the freezer for a quick fix. A pot of Yorkshire Gold tea with cinnamon toast. And when I'm ill I always want potato soup and custard in little cups with nutmeg on top. Many's the time I've staggered delirious with fever, sneezing and coughing in the kitchen to fix it. lol

My pot of tea in the morning. Can't live without it. Breakfast is my favorite comfort meal, sausage, eggs over easy, fried potatoes, toast with a glass of cold milk. Of course not often!! Potatoes in any way, shape or form. Lastly, spaghetti with my homemade sauce that I've been making since age 13.

thanks guys, love ya, keep up the great work!

All my portion of the cooking is done (except a stuffed pumpkin still in the oven) and I am sitting down to a cup of tea with bourbon, so I am feeling very thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Happy Turkey day Americans!
