For the life of me I can't remember what I was doing looking at this blog. But I started clicking around and I found this recipe for Marion's Gingerbread. I don't know who Marion is, but wow does she have some ass kickin' gingerbread!
This isn't the sticky gooey melty topped gingerbread that I sometimes make. Its more cakelike but the addition of black pepper really puts some pep in your step. I can't find Chinese Five Spice around here but I made do with what I had and added some cloves and more cinnamon. Instead of the black strap molasses you can find at the store I used Mr. Miller's fresh from the farm sorghum molasses. Just heavenly.
Of course the afternoon I made this fine gingerbread I couldn't just let it be lonely in the bowl so I added some caramel sauce and plopped on some fresh whipped cream. But in the mornings I just heated up a slice of this gingerbread and poured on the fresh milk. Any way you slice it, this gingerbread is a taste sensation. But whatever you do don't skimp on the black pepper - you'll thank me.
Speaking of love, does everyone know my friend Kris? She had such a beautiful story the other day I just had to give her a shout out. Kris is very very funny and she is very smart. She really knows her "heritage skills" and she can make do with just about nothing. She always has a good word and is a wonderful example of a Godly woman. Thanks, Kris for this remarkable post.
Happy Monday everyone!

What a fine example of someone living the word of god. Momma was like that. Anyway, that lady's post gave me the warm and fuzzies.

Gingerbread was one of the first things I learned to make many years ago with my late mother. Thanks for reminding me!
