I was in the kitchen a lot today, but in the midst of it found time to wash another window - one left! (the dreaded over-the-sink window) and the back door.
Among my pinterest recipes, a pumpkin molasses quick bread caught my eye, since I'd opened a large can of pumpkin the other day and some was left. Even while mixing it up, I asked myself if I really needed to be trying this recipe, since I have a few favorites I like to make - why try another? It might be a flop. Well, it was good, and I'm glad I made it.

For many years the only molasses I kept around was blackstrap. Our food co-op would buy five gallons ! of the stuff and I often took three of them. Once the molasses I was storing in old glass vinegar jugs fermented and popped the tops off and oozed all over the floor of the garage.
ReplyDeleteI may still have some around, because it has great nutritional value :-) A snack that my children used to enjoy was a spoonful of blackstrap mixed with an equal amount of peanut butter and dry milk powder. But these days, I buy small bottles of less potent stuff...
