bad attendance record

Wow, blogging has not been a priority in my life, as you can probably tell. I've been working on so many projects but left myself no time to post them. Here's a little post to hold you over until I get some of my Christmas stuff up.

I baked a Pumpkin Loaf for my work's annual Christmas pot luck. The recipe comes from my Better Homes and Garden cookbook. It makes two delicious loaves, both very moist. Usually I bake them in rectangular loaf pans but I wanted to do something special so I used two Bundt pans.

The recipe called for about 475ml of canned pumpkin and I only had a 900-something ml can so I only used half of it. I wish I had just used the entire can because the pumpkin was barely noticeable. It was more like a spice loaf than a pumpkin loaf. Still really good but the title is a little misleading.

I wanted it to look nice so I put the one loaf I brought to work on a wooden cutting board and then dusted the loaf with icing sugar. Icing sugar is magic! Look how pretty it is.

That's all for now. Next post I will put up the things I made for my sister's Christmas present!
