September 1...W00-HOO

Hello World!!................Two Big Events for Today.

1.....Its been 38 years for my honey and me...where does the time go??? We met in our first (on only) year of college and majored in each other. ...here's a pic of Honey. It's been an adventure with ups and downs, any sooo many blessing along the way. I'm so glad he's my hubby and God willing we will have many more years together.


2......FALL begins today for me and a few other nuts (my friend Katherine and my youngest daughter Catherine)....this is OUR first day of fall...............summer is soooo over rated.......yuck....but fall....yummmmm, the colors, the feel of the air on your skin, the smells of the fall season.......and I live in California and I'll take what I can get of fall in the area, but I can't BEGIN to imagine what living on the northern EAST Coast would be like where it is a it is a feast to the eyes..............(...hummmmm, some day)
So....to start the season off right I had to may my favorite fall receipe "Great Aunt Myrtle's Pumpkin Bread"....which came from my friend Katherine........yummy.........want the receipe?
                          sure I'll share........I think Aunt Myrtle would get a kick out of it!!
                                       AUNT MYRTLES' PUMPKING BREAD
          3 CUPS SUGAR
          1 CUP COOKING OIL
         4 EGGS
         2 CUPS PUMPKIN (FROM A CAN)
         2/3 CUP WATER
         2 TSP. SODA
         1/2 TSP. SALT
         1 TSP. CINNAMON
         1 TSP NUTMEG
         3 1/2 CUPS FLOUR  
Cream sugar, oil and eggs at low speed, add pumpkin, water, dry ingredients and nuts in given order. Place in 4 greased and floured 1 pound coffee cans. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Can you guess that this is an old receipe? I have used all different sizes of loaf pans and even a bundlt pan for this receipe. It makes a lot of batter...so have fun...............enjoy the yummy bread.

NOTE......cooking time REALLY varies due to size of pans....just play with it...it always comes out good!

Heres to hoping you enjoy the season.................
