"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

In large bowl combine flour and sugar. Cut in butter until fine crumbs. Stir in chopped pecans. Press 1 1/4 cups of crumb mixture into bottom of ungreased 9-inch square pan. To remaining mixture add the ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, cloves, buttermilk, molasses, pumpkin, and egg. Pour evenly over base and bake in 350º oven for 40-50 minutes. Toothpick will come out clean.
In medium saucepan, melt the 1/2 cup butter, stir in brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring to boil; cook until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Stir in whipping cream; return to boil. Remove from heat. Serve sauce over warm gingerbread topped with a scoop of ice cream, and garnish with chopped pecans is you'd like. Makes 12 Servings, 6 if your last name is Newton.
