"A wonderful tea loaf to slice and have with tea or coffee. Try it plain or spread it with butter or cream cheese. The original version of this recipe was posted to an e-list called MC_recipes several years ago and was attributed to Johna Blinn who wrote food columns for newspapers and magazines as well as a number of cookbooks. I have upped the measure of orange rind a bit and I measure the grated orange rind generously by pressing it lightly into the measuring spoon. This bread is delicious as well as quite low in fat!"

I love food and cooking and find that I all too often don't have as much time to spend in the kitchen as I'd like. I long for a new updated kitchen with a functional pantry that will allow me to actually spend productive time in the kitchen rather than spend it forever rooting around in cupboards to find some lost important ingredient. I love to surf the 'net to look for new recipes and food ideas and lunch hours at my day job (crop diagnostician) are often used for just that. Other than kitchen stuff my hobbies are gardening, quilting and reading.
