It came out good which is an amazing thing, because I hate cooking and I'm not good at it. I also have a tendency to get all bent out of shape when I cook or bake for other people. But it came out a-okay. This bread lasts a while and it also tastes good with peanut butter and cream cheese. I love all things pumpkin...bread, cookies, soup, cake, doughnuts, beer... And now I am watching a sea otter give birth. |
One of the writers I am reading for my history paper is named Sharla Fett. I bet she has no idea how cool her last name is. |
My aunt always makes pumpkin soup for Thanksgiving. OH, so good. I can't wait! |
|
It's basically a pumpkin-and-corn soup. Nothing exotic. |
i take it you didnt go to that function. my bud says it was pretty fantastic. he sez..."they love it, the dig our arty shit" oh, well, next time perhaps. have you discovered WRAS GA State radio 88.5? (or is it 88.1 shit I should check my bumper, its been too long) |

today i spent five hours riding on the windward long and windy ocean road from kailua to kaaawa on the back of a Yamaha 1100 classic low rider. afterward i ate turkey and spaghetti squash and blue mashed potatoes and taro mochi and pecan pie with 25 of my old friends. i didn't hike diamond head and i didn't bake pumpki pecan burboun pie. and it was a perfect day. i hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving. i would like to have your recipe for pumpkin bread, kazoo. |
the reason i even mention it is because yesterday my friend ashby made that soup and it turned out perfect, except she diced up the kafir lime... you only need about 5 leaves or so. |
|
oh, and pumpkin beer! my god that's good shit! |
|

|
thanks J! |

I missed that this year, along with turkey and noodles over mashed potatoes. Good, basic, down to home cooking. Which to me, personally, is what the food at a thanksgiving dinner should be |
Sarah, thanks for the tip. Here is my bread recipe: 3 cups sugar 1 cup veg. oil 1 15oz can of pumpkin 4 eggs beaten 3 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp. baking powder 2 tsp. baking soda 2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. each: cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice 1/2 tsp. cloves 2/3 cup water grease and lightly flour two large loaf pans. Combine flour, baking soda and powder, salt and spices (I sift the flour, I don't know if it's neccessary). in a separate bowl combine sugar, oil, pumpkin, and eggs. beat until fluffy add dry ingredients to pumpkin mixture alternating with water. mix until blended. fill pans and bake for 45-55 minutes @ 350°F. (NOTE: The recipe my aunt gave me said 45 but it took my oven about 55 minutes) |
did i tell you? i went shopping for the thanksgiving stuff this year, my sister and i were to cook. i love the holiday food thing. turkey, dressing... most people don't eat the stuff regularly. but at the store i freaked out. the front of the store has huge stacks of the same things, cans of pumpkin, marshmallows, beans, the onion things, stuffing... and i realized that, what, 80% of america eats the SAME thing that day. all in their different places, all eating french cut green bean casserole with some cream soup and fried onions. so many turkeys. weird. |
