Cooking instruction summary:

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, cream, granulated sugar, ginger, ground cinnamon, cinnamon stick, nutmeg and salt. Heat the mixture until steaming and it begins to foam. Remove from the heat. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale yellow. Gradually whisk in one cup of the warm cream mixture, whisking constantly. Pour the yolks and cream mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly being sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Place some ice and water into a large bowl and place a smaller bowl inside. Pour the cream mixture through a mesh strainer into the bowl. Stir in the pumpkin and vanilla, add the cinnamon stick back to the mixture. Chill thoroughly, preferably overnight. Pour the mixture into the freezer can of an electric ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturers instructions. In a small bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter untill soft. Add the sugar and continue beating until smooth and creamy. Stop the mixer occassionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Stir in the vanilla, molasses and egg, combine thoroughly. Mix in the dry ingredients gradually until the dough is smooth. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide in half. Roll each half until its about 2 inches around, like a log. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and then roll them lightly to smooth them out. Refrigerate or freeze until firm. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment. Slice the dough into 1/4 inch rounds with a serrated knift being careful to keep their shape. Place the rounds on the baking sheet and sprinkle with granulated or course sugar. Bake for 10-13 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through the baking time. Let the cookies cool in the pan for about 2 minutes and then transfer to a wire cooling rack. Dough can be refrigertaed for up to five days or frozen for up to three months. Baked cookies can be stored in an air-tight container for approximately a week. To assemble the sandwiches: (Im sure this is a no-brainer, but.you never know.) Thaw the ice cream until soft enough to scoop. Because of the high water content from the pumpkin puree it tends to freeze very firmly. Take one scoop of ice cream and place on top of one gingersnap, using a second cookie place on top of the ice cream and gently press down.

Food Joke

VIRUS WARNING**** If you received an e-mail with a subject line of "Badtimes," delete it immediately without reading it! It is the most dangerous E-mail virus yet. It will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will recalibrate your refrigerator's settings so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will demagnitize the strips on all your credit cards, reprogram your ATM access codes, screw up the tracking on your VCR and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play. It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number. It will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink all your beer and leave your dirty socks on the coffee table when there's company coming over. It will hide your car keys when you are late for work and interfere with your car radio so that you hear only static while stuck in traffic. Badtimes will make you fall in love with a hardened pedophile. It will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card. Badtimes will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up and leave the hairdryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattress and pillows, it will refill your skim milk with whole. It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve. These are just a few of the signs. BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!
