The most amazing M&C I've had so far. Sweet and tart mushrooms on the side were the perfect accompaniment.

Pumpkin Bread.

Got this recipe from my mother-in-law's friend, Mrs. Anuradha Soman. I added sliced almonds and walnuts to the batter. I also added wet ingredients to the dry ones. This sequence matters says my husband.











Ingredients-
1.5 flour
0.5 tsp. salt
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 c. pumpkin puree
1/2 c vegetable oil
2 egss, beaten
1/4 c. water
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp cloves
1/2 c. choppped nuts ( optional)

Preheat your over to 350. Sift together the floupr, slat, sugar, and baking soda. In a spearate bowl, combine the pumkin, oil, eggs, water and spices. Pour into the bowl w/ dry ingredients and mix until all are combined - don't stir too much! Stri in the nuts, if you are using them(I like it better w/o the nuts). Pour into a well-buttered 9x5x3 in loag pan, bake 50-60 minutes until done in them iddle. Remove from pan, cool on a rack.

Keep wrapped in the refrigerate. Really good w/ cream cheese or chooped walnits in cream cheese.
