That sounds really good! Here's one of my all time favorite
recipes in the universe. You can also dredge this out of Grex's
recipe archives. Join the kitchen conference and type "recipe".
Mrs. Dugan's Harvest Loaf Cake (aka Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread)
_The Detroit News_, November 22, 1971
(modified since then)
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
3 1/2 cups flour, sifted
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon (dry, ground) ginger
1/2 teaspoon cloves
2 cups (one 16 ounce can) canned or fresh pumpkin
2 cups (one 12 ounce bag) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs. Beat well. Stir in baking soda,
cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Stir in flour and pumpkin, possibly
adding each in small glunks and stirring after each addition. Fold in
chocolate chips. Grease bottoms of two loaf pans. Turn batter into pan.
Bake for one hour and five minutes or until a knife inserted comes out
without batter on it. It is suggested to bake at 300-325 degrees for a few
minutes longer. Keep close watch; do not overbake.

The only redeemable quality pumpkins have is that they're fun to blow up
with M-80s.

pumpkin recipes remind me of halloween, so here's an impromptu halloween recipe
that i have not yet tried (and i just missed the full moon):
1 really large pumpkin (mainly for justification of this post)
7 fairly old dried bat wings (vegans substitute ?)
a pinch of deadly nightshade
a black cat (not to cook, just for luck)
3 grams - eye of newt
6 drops - blood of a virgin (gender not important)
1 bagel loaded with cream cheese
over a roaring flame, mix bat wings, nightshade, e.o.n., and blood in 20
gallons murky water in a large cauldron. chant assorted gibberish of you own
design to flavour (this must be done at midnight under a full moon). carve
pumpkin, pet cat, eat bagel.

Not PC. Bats are harmless and beneficial, and should not be expected
to sacrifice their wings for a silly human fete; newts and other
amphibian populations, possibly because of the ozone hole and surely
because of pollution of the environment; virgins...well, I'm pro
choice. The other ingredients are OK, but you'll have the find
substitutes for bat wings, newts, and virgin blood. I recommend tofu.

For this recipe I wouldn't waste the tofu. You could use plastic bat
and newt parts and I think the bagel would be just as good.
btw: You'll want to keep the cat and the cream cheese separate during
this process.

I have a "recipe" for "electronic pumpkin:" If you e-mail me a request,
I'll send you a uuencoded file that is a compiled basic program that runs
on a PC under DOS that displays a nice big pumpkin and plays "In the Hall of
the Mountain King." :-)

Why would we need a bellfrey for grex? I didn't think .BAT files would
run under UNIX.
