Dad calls. They're dropping in to see the new fridge (?). Feeling homey and cook-y and generally domestic I casually mention that I'll whip up a date loaf...shyeah, like it's that simple:-) But it was and also is the most amazing loaf I've ever cooked.
Accidental date loaf
1 cup chopped dates
1/2 cup chopped pistachios
1/2 cup sugar
60gms (ish) Nuttelex
2 tsp Allspice
1 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp ground ginger
1 cup boiling water
1 tsp baking powder
2 cups SR flour
put everything but flour in a bowl until marg is melted and dates are soft (10 mins?)
sift in flour and mix until combined
pop in greased and lined loaf tin at 175 degress for 40 minutes.
Pour copious quantities of earl grey tea and serve warm with nuttelex while adorable father manages to not-quite-light-fire three times. Laugh as mother helps by throwing in solitary twig and magazine paper.
Give up on fire until Mr comes home to magically fix things.
