Whew! Ain't that the truth! From commitment to paddlin' this chapter is quite a ride for us readers, too.
For me the best part was the reassurance that Ennis's care and gentle questioning provides for Ellery. Who'd have thought that a good paddlin' could be such an act of love?

In honor of this morning's chapter, something a little different for the gallery.
PUMPKIN WALNUT MUFFINS
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup applesauce
3/4 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin
1/4 cup well-shaken buttermilk
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons unsulfured molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white whole-wheat flour or all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup chopped pitted dates (about 4 ounces)
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts (about 3 ounces)
Preheat oven to 400° F. and grease twelve 1/2-cup muffin cups.
Melt butter and cool slightly. In a bowl whisk together butter, applesauce, pumpkin, buttermilk, eggs, molasses, and vanilla. Into a large bowl sift together flours, baking powder, spices, salt, and baking soda and whisk in brown sugar. Make a well in center of flour mixture and add pumpkin mixture, stirring just until combined. Stir in dates and divide batter among cups. Sprinkle walnuts evenly over batter in each cup and bake muffins in middle of oven 20 to 25 minutes, or until puffed and a tester comes out clean. Cool muffins in cups 5 minutes and turn out onto a rack. Serve muffins warm or at room temperature.
If you don't like (or are allergic) to nuts, these are just fine without the walnuts, too.
Makes 12 muffins.

Thanks for the recipe Leslie. Maybe we can have one for Junior's brownies, as well as Edna's biscuits?? :o
(or does Edna just use Pillsbury too, I forget?)
