We got 0.7 inches of rain from early Saturday evening into early Sunday morning, but there was a lot of thunder starting at 6 p.m. Saturday, which caused our dog to cower in her bed and not eat her supper. Her nerves were clearly frazzled this morning, even though the thunder had ended, so I decided to make her favorite, Cornmeal and Pumpernickel Waffles, for breakfast. Once we administered some waffle pieces, she was back to her old self again. (Who needs Xanax?)

In the afternoon, I baked Squash, Whole Wheat, and Oat Quick Bread, using my Nordic Ware 4-loaf Bundlette pan, which has the older kind of coating. Even with the grease, I had a bit of sticking, also in part due to the cinnamon chips. (Yes, I am still using them up--expiration year 2017--and they are still good.) I also should have waited a bit longer before trying to remove them from the pan. Ten minutes was not enough. Two of the loaves broke a bit. I also used half whole wheat pastry flour and half King Arthur AP; I might want to go back to using slightly more (1/4 cup) of the AP than the whole wheat pastry flour. We went ahead and cut into one of the damaged ones while it was slightly warm. It crumbled, but oh, did it taste good! I used one of the golden arrow zucchini, which has a milder taste than the green ones.
