Happy Thanksgiving to our Great Northern TCers! We raise our cups in salute!
Mmmmm. Pumpkin bread with a cup of sweetly scented FF Darjeeling in the waning light of a Autumnal early evening. Bliss!!

Pumpkin Nut Teabread
Per request
1 1/2 c flour
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/3 c milk (or water)
1/2 tsp vanilla
6 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 1/3 c sugar, or 1 c. sugar and 1/3 c. packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 c pumpkin puree (canned)
½ c chopped walnuts or pecans
½ c semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350ºF and butter a 9 X 5 inch loaf pan. Whisk together dry ingredients and in a separate bowl combine the milk and vanilla. In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the sugar to the butter while beating at high speed. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add pumpkin puree and mix in on low speed until just blended.
Add the flour in 3 parts, alternating with the milk mixture in 2 parts. Beat on low speed, or use a spatula or wooden spoon, scrapping the sides of the bowl until the batter is smooth. Add 1/2 c. each of chopped walnuts (or pecans) and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Place batter into bread pan and spread evenly. Bake for about 60 minutes. An toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf will be clean upon removal when baking is done.

Thanks, Intuit, it looks delicious! I'm going to make some this weekend.

Yeah that is some tasty-looking bread, Intuit.
As for tea: it's all Chinese all the time for me. But I am increasingly noticing all the gushing claims made about Japanese greens, which will probably be the next tea territory I venture into.
