Mmmmm, Pumpkin Bread

No canned pumpkin so I had to buy the real deal.














With the help of Kevin, we cut it in half and cleaned out the stringy stuff and seeds.

Then, we baked it (in the oven that has no temperature gauge)
The next day, Kadist and I scooped out the "meat."

Later that day, I mixed up the dough and then took it into the office in order to plug the mixer into our one power converter (since the plugs are different here).

Then, I baked it (again, in the oven with no temperature gauge)...and it turned out pretty well! And I still have enough pumpkin left over to make at least 6 more loaves. I'll have to find some other pumpkin recipes maybe.

I love pumpkin! a bit of Morton in Addis it sounds like:0) How fun! If you're wanting to get rid of that extra pumpkin, you're welcome to send one of the 6 loaves to Gainesville...but if you decide it won't ship well I'd reccomend making pie! Do they have evaporated milk?

Impressive! I'm not sure I would've even thought to go to all that work. Looks delicious, hope you enjoyed it...and the next 6 loaves!

Hi Kevin and Erica- I have checked your blog a couple times from the Waldbeser's blog. Hope all is going well for you and we enjoy hearing the updates! This post made me think of Betsy in Doha, Qatar- she did the same thing as she couldn't find pumpkin :) We enjoyed being at your parents house the first weekend in Dec. Have a blessed New Year! Linda
