Pumpkin Cheese Bread…err…Cake
Today was our last full day here in Elkhart, IN. We’ve been here almost a month and we’re starting to get a bad case of ‘Hitch-Itch’. It’s time to hit the road.
And since we’re hitting the road tomorrow, today was cleaning day…along with trying to find a place for everything. When we stay in one place for a while, it can be a challenge to get back in the groove of packing up to travel again.
Around 2 pm Michele Henry of Phoenix Commercial Paint came by to look over our rig. She had been at the park visiting Nick and Terry and I wanted her to check out our rig because I want her to do some repair work / painting for us when we’re here next year. I’ve seen a number of rigs Michele has painted and she really does quality work.
Then about 3:30 we headed out to Bob Evans with Nick and Terry for our 3rd going-away get-together. Nick and Terry have been trying to leave here and head south for Key West since Thursday, but the weather been so bad, rainy and windy, that he kept putting it off.
So every night we’d have a final get-together in case they left the next day.
As usual we sat around talking at the restaurant longer than we spent eating to start with.
Later, after we got back home, Nick called with an electrical problem. While Terry was mixing a cake, his power glitched, and despite still being plugged into shore power, his coach was running on his internal batteries. After a lot of head scratching we found that his inverter had popped the Input circuit breaker. Resetting the breaker fixed the problem, but it doesn’t make sense why an inverter problem killed shore power. They should be two separate systems. But, at least the problem was fixed.
A little later, Nick called me to come over and get some of the cake Terry had baked. It was a Pumpkin Cheese Bread, or Cake.
It is fantastic! And here’s the recipe.

It’s called a bread, but it’s really a cake. The cheese filling is cream cheese.
