It's like a rap chorus!

All about the dough, bro.

Pumpkin Bread

1 1/2 c. flour
1 c. pumpkin (if you use fresh pumpkin, omit the 1/4 cup of water listed below, because fresh has a higher water content)
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1/4 c. water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
(for the last 4 ingredients, you could just swap in 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice mix if you have it)

Preheat oven to 350. Mix the ingredients together. Grease a loaf pan, pour batter in. Sprinkle with cinnamon on top.

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

You can add in chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or chocolate chips as your heart desires.

Thank you, Tep!

I'm so excited! Not only do I get to spend this weekend with my BFF (who still lives in DC) but I just found out via fb that one of my oldest friends (our mothers were high school besties) is in town with her husband, and I don't think I've seen her since her wedding a year and a half ago. Yay!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Congrats, Perkins!

Thank you, Tep!

You're welcome! It's really tasty.

I'm about to go make some cornbread (or muffins). Not for Thanksgiving; just to go with dinner. I don't know what *dinner* is going to be (leftover chili seems the winner, because chili + cornbread is an excellent combo), but I know that I by god want corn muffins.

As are so many things pumpkin.

I was trying to come up with a rappy thank you, but I failed.

Chili! Oooh, there's another idea for dinner on Saturday night.

Punishingly Intricate

We are about to have leftover chili for dinner! I have no will or ingredients to make cornbread though. I just made about 6 dozen gougeres, little cheesy buns. Man, it smells good in here though!

Gougeres are not easy to make either! But they are so delicious. SO SO SO delicious.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had leftover chili, too! Also with no cornbread.

I wish I had gougeres.
