outta this world pumpkin bread.

the famous pumpkin bread {round the griffith parts that is} that gets made but twice a year. the pumpkin bread that my older sister who is in the peace corps in africa skyped in to say to send her a loaf {okay so she skyped to say happy thanksgiving..} and the pumpkin bread that is going to get shipped to said sister. yeah its that good. that or caitlyn and i just have a strange and what some might say unhealthy obsession with? nahh, its just that good.

choco-chipped-o to the max-o.

let's pause for a second to recognize the wonderfulness of libby's pure pumpkin in can. its a holiday baking staple.. OH THE POSSIBILITES with one little can! dollop on my oatmeal? don't mind if i do. swirled into homemade cheesecake? you best believe it. spooning it out of the can with joseph gordan-levitt.. i didn't say that...

libby, girlfrand.. you know whats what!

oh look it's my family's loaf and my loaf {you think i'm kidding but...}
