How did it turn out this time? The honey-roasted pistachios sound yummy!
Better - thanks for asking. I actually split the recipe (linked below) into two smaller loaf pans and baked it for an hour. At this altitude time and temp recommendations aren't always perfect and a first failed attempted when doing something new isn't a rare occurrence. I added 1 cup of nuts, lightly crushed, and a bit of almond extract to pump up the flavour a little, which it nicely accomplishes.I think baking for a hour was a good guess. Looking over the recipe, I think the written baking time might be a typo. There is so much moisture in that batter, I would have given at least a baking time of 50-60 minutes. Does your pastor's wife accept baked gifts/donations? Our pastors' wives are always happy to get baked goods for the freezer. Then they always have something ready when they have to host a visit or counseling session. Now that the restrictions are finally starting to lift in your area, maybe you'll be able to gift your lovely baked goods in more church related areas?

Now all I need to do is figure out who to give it to, at least the second loaf. I have a very vexing family who are stubbornly indifferent to home baking.
A lovely idea; our church is called Calvary Chapel and is fondly known as Calorie Chapel for how much food gets provided to the leadership and people in need.
Church activities are still very limited; extremely low occupancy at services and no other in-person ministry of any kind.
One of our older neighbors (with a keen sweet tooth) has been in almost total isolation since 2019 (rare cancer and experimental treatment), so we've gotten pretty skilled at the dropping-the-goodies-on-the-porch (or hanging them from the door so the cats don't get them) game, too.... Not to worry though - we're all getting pretty good at the fine-art of porch-dropping!
