I took this photo on the weekend - a lovely looking pair of Pecan Rhubarb loaves that were fresh out of the oven. The crust looked great and the inside was cooked perfectly. Trouble is, the loaves themselves were a total failure. I played around with the original recipe too much which left the loaves crumbly and falling apart.
Unbeknownst to me, the rhubarb was going bad and turned both mushy and woody once cooked. I hate wasting food so I have frozen individual slices and will pick out the rhubarb before eating the loaf but I'm disappointed nonetheless. Such is home cooking though. Sometimes things turn out great, and sometimes, you are back to the recipe book to find something that works better for the future.
