Schnauzers and Howling Wolves

NOVA Online | Wild Wolves | What’s in a Howl

Listen up! and let the dog(s) listen with you. Interesting: Grace and Charlie respond to the Lonesome Howl and the Wolf Pup howl by chiming in and singing along. However, play the Agressive Male (warning off others), and they look for a second, and lie down and ignore it. Pretty much the same with the group howl –

This is a recipe from a friend from the dark ages -- back in the early 1970s when I was a college student. And, yep! I still make it.

Meg came to my house a couple of years ago, and she knew her source for the recipe -- down to the page number in the cookbook! I don't remember the book (I never saw it), and I've modified things a little bit (coconut oil instead of Crisco, for example) since I got it but it's basically the same recipe. Isn't that how recipes work?

Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 c shortening I now use Coconut Oil - works wonderfully
  • 1 c sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 c pre-sifted flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 + c mashed bananas the rottener the better! -- and a bit more than 1 cup works as well
  • 1 Tbsp crunchy Peanut Butter

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF
  2. Beat sugar and oil
  3. Add eggs and continue to beat
  4. Add dry ingredients alternating with bananas and peanut butter
  5. Pour into a loaf pan
  6. Bake for approximately 1 hour

Notes

Very forgiving recipe -- use at least 1 cup of mashed banana, but a bit extra is really good as well. I have been known to add a touch of salt (salt-a-holic here - especially if I used all natural peanut butter with no salt added); crunchy peanut butter is best, but smooth/creamy works just fine. And, since I won't touch Crisco anymore, I started using coconut oil. Even better than the original shortening. Guess you could use lard ( )
