I baked a loaf of Pumpkin Bread today.
Here's the loaf, still resting in it's parchment paper lined pan.
Warning: that white stuff that may look like mold to you is actually a topping of cinnamon sugar.
It was a long time till it became cool enough to lift out of the pan and slice but the smell of that pumpkin baking was enough to make me think of joining those of you who think Halloween should be a National Holiday.
Later . . . too much later for me but I do (sometimes) take instructions from the publishers of recipes . . . I got my faithful wife to do the initial carving.
It was pumpkin beauty.
And it tasted and smelled even better than it looked in the first photo.
The taste and smell of Autumn.
(Do I rhapsodize too much?)
the color is so vivid I think I got a whiff of the bread out west on the coast.

ReplyDeleteWell done Bruce! It is like you gave birth to that pumpkin loaf and "pumpkin" can be used as a term of affection for young children.
