tickling our taste buds

A monthly column by a community member who loves to cook!
It’s hard to believe that a year has almost passed since the 2009 Thurmont
& Emmitsburg Community Show. As a reminder of the upcoming event, the
54th Annual Booklet has hit the newsstands. You can pick up your copy at
many area businesses. I enjoy promoting the Annual Community Show each
year because it has been a part of my life for over 35 years.
I have been the superintendant of, you guessed it, the Baked Products
Department for many years, so it is only natural that I encourage people to
enter a baked product at the show. Each year I share a simple, yet delicious
recipe with you to try for your entry. Quick breads are just such a recipe. I
hope you give it a try.
If baking just isn’t your thing, there are many other departments to enter
like produce, art, sewing, crafts, flowers, etc. There is something for everyone.
Mark your calendars for September 10, 11 & 12 and I’ll see you at the
Community Show.
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
3½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons salad oil
1¼ cups milk
1 egg
1 cup finely chopped nuts
Nut Bread
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 9x5x3-inch loaf pan or two
8½x4½x2½-inch loaf pans. Measure all ingredients into a large mixer bowl;
beat on medium speed ½ minute, scraping side and bottom of bowl constantly.
Pour into pan(s). Bake 55 to 65 minutes or until wooden toothpick inserted
in center comes out clean. Remove from pan; cool thoroughly before slicing.
Banana Nut Variation: decrease milk to ¾ cup; add 1 cup mashed ripe
bananas (2 to 3 medium).
This recipe was borrowed from by favorite source: Betty Crocker’s Cookbook.

Food category. In addition to these
category winners, many Frederick
area restaurants are Zagat rated
and have favorable reviews. “There
was a time when Frederick area
restaurants were scarcely reviewed
by Zagat, but today there are
over a dozen,” explained John
Fieseler, Executive Director for
the Tourism Council of Frederick
County. “Frederick is a significant
regional dining destination where
visitors know they can find unique
settings and a variety of options,”
says Fieseler. The first Frederick
Restaurant Week was held in 2010,
and a second event is planned for
2011 although dates have not been
announced.
