LOL
Must try that recipe I love pumpkin bread only discovered it a few weeks ago
Yes, but not right at my fingertips. Just taking a break from the kitchen right now and will be back later to post it. It's awesome!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Farm raised are fairly pale not much darker than a free range chicken
The colour when cooked is very similar to young rabbit.
Well then, here is another version for your pleasure...
PUMPKIN BREAD
1 1/2 CUPS ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
1 TEASPOON BAKING SODA
1/2 TEASPOON BAKING POWDER
1/2 TEASPOON SALT
4 EGGS
1 CUP GRANULATED SUGAR
1/4 CUP LIGHT BROWN SUGAR
1/2 TEASPOON VANILLA
3/4 TO 1 CUP CANNED PUMPKIN (NOT PIE FILLING)
3/4 CUP VEGETABLE OIL
1 8" x 4" OR 81/2" x 41/2" LOAF PAN
PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 AND GREASE THE LOAF PAN
COMBINE FLOUR, BAKING SODA, BAKING POWDER, & SALT IN A MEDIUM BOWL
BEAT EGGS, SUGARS, & VANILLA TOGETHER IN A LARGE BOWL WITH AN ELECTRIC MIXER ON HIGH SPEED FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS. ADD PUMPKIN & OIL AND MIX WELL
POUR DRY INGREDIENTS INTO THE WET STUFF AND MIX WELL WITH THE MIXER. POUR THE BATTER INTO A WELL GREASED LOAF PAN. BAKE FOR 70 MINUTES OR UNTIL THE TOP IS DARK BROWN & A TOOTHPICK STUCK INTO THE CENTER COMES OUT CLEAN.
LET COOL & REMOVE FROM PAN. SLICE WITH A BREAD KNIFE INTO 1" SLICES.
TOP WITH BUTTER, OR MASCARPONE CHEESE, CREAM CHEESE, APPLE BUTTER, OR PUMPKIN BUTTER. OR, BAKE AN APPLE WITH CINNAMON, CLOVE, & HONEY AND SERVE TOGETHER WITH SOME YOGURT AS A LIGHT VEGETARIAN LUNCH.
MAKES 8 SLICES. WILL FREEZE VERY WELL. MICROWAVE 1 FROZEN SLICE ON HIGH FOR 45 SECONDS.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Would that be an 8 ounce container of sour cream? Thank you, recipe sounds very good.
Happy Late Thanksgiving Day!
Here ya go:
Soda Cracker Candy
35-40 saltine crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1½ cups chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 400°.
Place a sheet of aluminum foil on a 15x10x1 inch cookie sheet, making the sides slightly higher than the rim of the pan. Spray foil generously with PAM.
Line up the crackers in rows on the foil, touching each other - about 5 rows of 8 crackers.
In a saucepan, melt butter. Add brown sugar and bring to a full boil. Boil for exactly 3 minutes.
Pour over crackers and spread until all are covered.
Bake at 400° 5 min. Crackers will float.
Remove from oven and turn oven off.
Sprinkle on chocolate chips and return to oven until chips
are almost melted. Remove from oven and spread chocolate to cover all.
Sprinkle on chopped nuts (usually pecans or almonds) and use the back of a greased metal spatula to press them into the chocolate.
Cut candy into squares while still warm or wait till cooled and break into pieces. Let cool completely before removing from foil.
[Hint: Don't cool in the fridge, or you will wind up having to keep the candy cold and it will sweat. You probably won't have it last long enough to worry about storage, but when giving as gifts, often it's better not to require refrigeration.]
Thank you so much Rte66! Will try it soon.
It's really irresistible. One other note - I live in a humid climate and have had it turn out soft once, out of about a dozen or more times making it - and it was on a rainy day.
I usually know better, when making meringues or light cakes, but hadn't thought about it when making toffee. Just something to kinda make a mental note about.
Enjoy!
yes -- a small 8oz container for the single recipe..
but usually i double the recipe and use the large 16oz
container..
it's yummy!
Is it just me, or are turkeys cooking more quickly now than in years past? I remember an old rule of thumb: 1 hour per 5 lbs. However, every time I use it, the turkey is overcooked. In fact, it's reaching 180 degrees after about three hours, even a 23 pound turkey. What's going on? I'm thinking about just forgetting about the time rule, and even the thermometer, and just look at when the thigh starts to "give" when I pull on it.
"are turkeys cooking more quickly now than in years past?"
I really don't know. I didn't start cooking turkeys until they started coming with those little popup timers!
Was it good? :-)
Great! I was hopin' it all turned out okay!
Hope you had a great holiday!
ping again
“are turkeys cooking more quickly now than in years past?”
Probably. Global warming maybe. :)
