This weekā€™s pumpkin-honouring recipe is one of your authorā€™s favourite ways to bake pumpkin: as a cake with sweet, nutty icing. The book this recipe comes from was written to highlight the possibilities of canned foods, so feel free to substitute actual milk for the powdered milk as written ā€“ but do use canned pumpkin and save yourself a bunch of trouble! I would also add a lot more in the way of spice; a palmful of cinnamon, clove, and salt isnā€™t going to do much against two nine-inch cakesā€™ worth of batter! Also, if youā€™re lucky enough to have real maple syrup around, do feel free to use that in place of maple flavouring in the icing. A couple of little tweaks would make this cake a real treat at any October gathering! šŸŽƒ

Need to return your library books? Each library has an outside book return (called a bookdrop) that is open to return your books after hours. The bookdrop is only checked in the mornings, so when the library is open we prefer you return your books inside. Abbotsford and Mission libraries have bookdrops built into their desks, Chilliwack library just hand your returns to the library staff or set on the counter.

Itā€™s that very special time of year wherein we all decide to go absolutely ham for a particular gourd! šŸŽƒ The humble pumpkin, beyond being a symbol of the season, is also wildly delicious in every preparation (save pie, which is a mild abomination and excluded from present conversation). Weā€™re starting October off strong with pumpkin drop cookies: you know ā€˜em, you love ā€˜em, you eat ā€˜em by the handful when you grandma breaks them out at Thanksgiving. Personally, Iā€™m leaving out the nuts and raisins, but thatā€™s up to you! They shouldnā€™t need any adornment before they head into the oven; however, if you feel like doing something a little fancy, dust some finishing sugar over the cookies after youā€™ve dropped them onto the baking sheet!

This oneā€™s going to require a little free-form jazz in the kitchen, everyone. Seed-cake surfaces as a treat in Sense and Sensibility, and after doing a little research, it looks like the titular seeds are most likely caraway, which have a lovely earthy flavour. Todayā€™s recipe comes to us not from the published recipes within this book, but from a newspaper clipping pasted to one of the inside cover pages ā€“ which is exciting, except for the little wrinkle that whoever clipped the recipe didnā€™t cut out the whole thing. All weā€™ve got is a caraway variation that says to use half-measures (of what?) and one and a half teaspoons of caraway seeds to an unknown quantity of cake batter. Maybe itā€™s best just to give this one a go? Make a basic cake (pound might be good!) and toss some caraway seeds in there just to see what happens. Itā€™s probably great! Trust in Miss Austenā€™s taste! šŸ°
