First of all, Lilinah, I'll get in touch with the cooks guild lady here,
they worked out this recipe at their August meeting. I didn't attend, but I
heard they liked it.

I was disappointed in the spices available at WholeFoods in Costa Mesa and
Tustin--not what I was used to in the WholeFoods stores back in NC. Should
I make a trip into LA for replenishing my spices? I let things run out
before moving, and am rapidly using up what dribs and drabs remain.
Sooner or later, I must get into LA to return the air mattresses and bedding
that Huette loaned us, perhaps I might as well make a shopping plan for that
day.

I've been known to eat the chocolate tablets as candy, so you are in good
company. As for the sweet bread: Recipe, please!
