Vintage Recipes for Delicious Gift Breads: Banana Walnut Bread and Rhubarb Bread

One of the great things about grandma's house was always the selection of delicious treats to be found in her kitchen.  Whether it was meal time or we just wanted a snack, there was always something delicious available.  And one of those "always available" items was bread.  Grandma cooked on an old cast iron wood stove that had a warmer section.  There were always biscuits and breads in the warmer section.  Here are a couple of sweet breads from my vintage recipe collection that remind me of grandma.  Banana Walnut and Rhubarb breads are both tasty treats you should share with your family and friends.

VINTAGE BANANA WALNUT BREAD

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
2 tbsp milk
1 tbsp vinegar
1 cup chopped walnuts
3 very ripe crushed bananas
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
2 cups flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all ingredients and bake in greased loaf pan for 50 to 60 minutes.

RHUBARB BREAD

3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup salad oil
1 egg
1 cup sour milk*
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cup diced rhubarb
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Mix ingredients in the order listed above. Mix well and pour into two greased loaf pans and sprinkle over batter a mixture of 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon butter and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Bake at 325 degrees for 60 minutes. Freezes well. Makes 2 loaves.
*Sour milk is buttermilk.  If you do not have buttermilk on hand, you can substitute 1 cup of regular milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar mixed in.
Enjoy!

What clothes would look good with a long leopard print coat and brown vintage ankle boots?

I have sooo many clothes, but I can't think what outfit to put together with a leopard print coat. I don't want to wear anything else brown with it really, but yeah, I don't mind if it clashes just anything that'll look good really. I'm going to London so I need something half decent haha

i think you should wear thick brown tights (if u live in england, new look do 120 denier ones) as they will match the boots well. i dont think black tights always work too well with brown boots. the tights will also match the coat of course. i always think matching clothing looks best really, bit more classy really! you could also try brown leggings with a long vest top to preserve your modesty lol, maybe white in colour or red?

First Stanley Winterfest called fun, successful
The first annual Stanley Winterfest may not have packed the town with tourists, but all the colorfully dressed locals who showed up for snowshoe in-drag, blindfolded snowmobile races and the Stanley Cup hockey games, had fun and organizers deemed the weekend “more than a huge success.”

Thanks for visiting!
