OLD FASHION GINGERBREAD
My dad would always tell me his mother made gingerbread with hot water and that it was dense and rich with molasses. Over the years I looked for such a recipe, to no avail. Then one day I was given a book compiled by an elderly woman who recalled recipes from her childhood in Virginia, and there it was! I made one slight change, substituting shortening for lard. For gingerbread lovers, this classic version is wonderful, whether you eat it hot and dripping with butter or at room temperature.

GENERAL LAFAYETTE GINGERBREAD
Just in time for Christmas! While spending most of last week and this week in bed nursing a cold, I have been reading through the stacks of old recipe's from magazines and newspapers that my mom has. I have found many I want to eventually try, however, I could not wait to get this one posted. The clipping said the gingerbread was served by the mother of George Washington to General Lafayette in the 1780's and, he liked it so much, she named it for him. After looking at the ingredients I was intrigued. The image is not mine.

GINGERBREAD LOAF
Enjoy this old-fashioned ginger loaf recipe originally from Holland. This moist spicy bread smells delicious while it's baking...and slices are wonderful spread with cream cheese. The recipe makes two big loaves, so we have one to eat and one to freeze for later...or to give away. -Martina Biemond, Rosedale, British Columbia
