[recipe] Pumpkin Chocolate Loaf

[Guest guest]

i gotta warn you, this quick bread is killer-addictive.

The good news is it makes 3 large loaves, so you can

make one to eat now, one to freeze, and one to give

away to a neighbor or friend~ can you say world peace? *lol*

No comfortable feel in any member -

No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,

No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds -
