About this most loved recipe: Barbara's daughter (Pam in Indiana <tpswede@...>) writes, "I've been reading all the childhood memories everyone has shared. The month of October is a hard one for me. The 27th will be the 4th year since my Mom has passed away and every Thanksgiving (and/or Christmas) I make Pumpkin Bars (her recipe) and so many memories come flooding in. They were her favorite and I hope you try them and while your making them think of Barbara Shaia, who was this wonderful, generous person who loved to share all her recipes."
