Grandma's Chocolate Bread 1 1/2 cups water 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1 package active dry yeast 2/3 cup cocoa 2 cups flour 4 eggs 6 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 1/2 teaspoons salt 3 to 4 cups flour 1 cup black walnuts, chopped 1 cup raisins Mix water, 1 tablespoon sugar and yeast in a plastic bowl. Sift cocoa and 2 cups flour into yeast mixture. Add next 5 ingredients and mix gently. Add enough of the 3 to 4 cups flour to make a soft dough like a sweet bread dough. Mix in the black walnuts and raisins. Let dough rise once to about double. Punch dough down and form into 4 small loaves. Place them into small loaf pans and let rise again to about double. Bake for 20 minutes or until done. Let stand in pan for 5 minutes. Remove from pans and let cool on a rack. After completely cool, frost all over with icing except for the bottom. - Bernie, MI I would have to say that one of my more memorable dining experiences dates back to when I was in college in Oregon. Around midnight and a tad on the cool side and a light rain, as I recall. The two of us, sitting on a bridge somewhere in downtown Portland, Oregon, eating fresh cold Dungeness crab on the butcher paper wrapper on our laps. Salt and pepper I had scored from some drive-through, a box of saltine crackers and a couple cold beers. Throwing the shells out the window of the beat up $900 Volkswagen I was driving. It really does not get much better than that. - Ted Parker, Huntsville, AL Are these stories making you as hungry as they*re making me? Please keep *em coming.
