Fri., December 13, 2002 - Home Nurse came in p.m. I boiled the syrup, etc. for peppernuts. Mary & kids came in evening. They finished mixing the peppernuts.
Sat., December 14, 2002 - Greta called. I baked 4 loaves of pumpkin cranberry bread.
Sun., December 15, 2002 - Dolores, Nancy & I went to Capitol City Christian Church for a Christmas musical. It was "super" -- about 157 adults & children presented it.
I also remember this particular time frame. Every time I thought the spoon and my arm would surely break, Grandma took a peek and said we needed even more flour for the peppernuts. I'm not complaining -- the end result is always well worth it.
I did make some peppernuts this year myself. However, it was a very different version. For one, it didn't make nearly so many and it was more like a shortbread than what we think of peppernuts. The recipe was on a Danish facebook page I follow, from someone's Danish grandmother. So, just like chili or pizza, there are lots of different versions. And they are called pebernoder. :-) (Photo from Google).
I also remember Grandma's pumpkin cranberry bread. Yummy!
