It is a wonderful place. Some years later I became involved in living history at a national park dedicated to the colonial period and the American Revolution. In subsequent trips my colleagues and I would take in the great ambiance in full 18th century attire. It was always a blast, of course, tourists thought us part of the "show" so we quickly learned to point out the nearest restrooms! :)

I'm glad I found your website. Your description of your time in Williamsburg brought back so many good memories for me. My Mom and I were there for my birthday in 1978. We had a birthday dinner at the Kings Arms Tavern and it was magical--the whole area is magical just as you say. What a wonderful time we had! Thank you for the recipes for Shrewsbury Cakes and Ginger Cakes.

Dianne - Southern Expat Boiled Peanuts

Dianne — Sat, 23 Jun 2012 05:32:46 +0000

I too live in Arizona and MISS boiled peanuts like crazy! I was born in South Carolina and my mom is from Georgia. My grandparents moved to Florida and we moved to California. Every time my grandmother would come out for a visit she would bring bags of raw peanuts with her because we couldn't get them on the west coast. I told my husband about them and he thought I was nuts (pardon the pun). He is from Chicago and has not spent a lot of time in the south. I am trying to find raw nuts so I can introduce my family to them. Thank you for your article....he now knows I am not crazy and that others love them and miss the as much as I do!

These sound wonderful and perfect for my house full of folks with peanut allergies. (You would be surprised at what has either shell-fish, peanuts or tomatoes hiding in it.)

I've made a very similar version of these myself, and they are FANTASTIC. They are surprisingly amazing, since they look so unassuming and simple. They are definitely a new family favorite! They never last long at my house!

I made these the other day and added a bag of chocolate chips! YUM! I think they would be good frosted too. If you are a peanut butter lover, maybe even peanut butter frosting! Her original recipe called for self rising flour, which I didn't have but found how to "make" it from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook on emergency hints. I think the only difference from yours is adding some baking soda to make it "self rising". I also used parchment paper for easy cleanup in the 9x13 pan! Oh and I warmed the eggs in some warm water because I forgot to take them out at the start to get to room temp. I know, alot to take in,,,but it was worth it! Thanks! Stephanie =^..^=

Hi Jacqui, You can use regular flour in this and it should work OK. The only real difference between bleached and unbleached flour is color and a tiny bit more protein in the unbleached. Your bread might be a little lighter in color but it should work out OK. :)

Hello, I,m really happy I found your blog and I'm going to bake this bread. However, I have one question, I don't have unbleached flour on hand, so can I substitute with be ached all purpose flour? Thank you
