The Pumpkin Bread of Tragedy and My Bachelorette Dinner.
I made it through NaBloPoMo, didn’t I?
Yesterday was my BDO (known as the Big Day Off) and I decided to make pumpkin bread. Not from scratch, mind you, but from a Trader Joe’s mix that I bought a couple of weeks ago. As you can see, it turned out…okay.
To my way of thinking: bread implies loaf, loaf implies loaf pan, and pumpkin bread batter implies pouring said batter into a loaf pan. Only it didn’t really work out that way. The bread came out perfect in the center and the edges burnt, so: lesson learned.
Dinner tonight was a potato salad that I made yesterday—a little heavier on the dressing than I intended—and panfried sausages. They were good. It was all good. I’ll have a recipe for you guys in a couple of days.

Looking forward to that recipe! I can try pum’kin bread up here and see how it turns out. I have metal loaf pans, which may resolve the burnt-edges issue.
