Have you ever snorted sugar?
Yes, for a dare
Yes, but not for a dare
No, never
[OKAY, SO NOW THE MEAT'S BROWNED OFF, COOKED DOWN WITH THE, UH, THE CELERY AND THE ONIONS. NOW WHAT'S UP? BROWN SUGAR, WHITE SUGAR, A GALLON OF VINEGAR, AND WATER.]
Vintage Peanut Butter Banana Bread
Tongue Control Spell (3)
The following spell counters gossip, slander, and testimony against you. It is most powerful if performed standing at the center of a crossroad, however it may also be accomplished standing at a window. A sudden gust of wind is an extremely auspicious omen.
Blend a pinch of white sugar, a pinch of flour, and a pinch of fine ground salt.
Hold the powder in the palm of your hand while visualizing your desired outcome. Direct your petition to the deity of your choice, if necessary. (If you’d like spiritual assistance but are unsure who to beseech, the archangel Michael and the orisha Ogun, warriors who despise lies, are recommended, as is Ma’at, Egyptian dispenser of ultimate justice.)
Chant: I am innocent of the accusations! [Deity’s name] protect me!
Allow the powders to fly out of your hand.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
Chef’s Notes: Batter tastes pumpkiny. I don’t taste it as much once baked, but it is a nice bread with a crunchy crust.
Did I actually overbake it? Is it dry?
Ingredients
Cooking spray
8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup white sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree (I roasted a pumpkin and took out the insides instead of using a can puree)
1/4 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp Kosher salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
0. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
1. Line a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, then grease with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat melted butter, sugar, pumpkin puree, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla.
3. In a different medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ginger, and nutmeg.
4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until just combined.
5. Fold in chocolate chips, reserving 2 tablespoons for topping the loaf
6. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Smooth top with an offset spatula and sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.
7. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes, covering the top with a foil tent after 1 hour if the top appears to be getting too dark.
I recommend the tenting, even if it’s not brown yet
8. Let cool for 15 minutes before removing from the pan and slicing.
