Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Dude. That's a nasty cake.

No. Shit.

There should have been something out of a can as well.

More than one thing. And perhaps more than one thing that came out of a bag.

The cake wasn't presented as a joke cake? The friend was trying to bring something "nice"? Ouch.

It might have been a joke cake. But the birthday girl was all excited about it. I think there was another, non-Sandra Lee cake, too. I started drinking margaritas to forget how bad it was. Obviously there were not enough margaritas to erase the memory.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would laugh and scream with delight if someone brought me a Semi-Ho cake. And then not eat it.

Because seriously.

Because books.

Anyone have a good pumpkin bread recipe? Dad's making pies, and I want some more pumpkiny goodness, but not more pie.

Yo.

Let me go find it. (It's gluten-tastic, from my pre-GF days.)

Back in a mo.

All about the dough, bro.

Pumpkin Bread

1 1/2 c. flour
1 c. pumpkin (if you use fresh pumpkin, omit the 1/4 cup of water listed below, because fresh has a higher water content)
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1/4 c. water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
(for the last 4 ingredients, you could just swap in 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice mix if you have it)

Preheat oven to 350. Mix the ingredients together. Grease a loaf pan, pour batter in. Sprinkle with cinnamon on top.

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

You can add in chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or chocolate chips as your heart desires.
