I'm going to start a bench sit, but I'm sure mine is on its way. I made chocolate Amish Bread. YUM!
Chocolate Amish Bread? I have had Amish friendship bread but never Chocolate Amish bread. Sounds yummy! can we pry the recipe out of you? :D
Ingredients
1 cup Amish Friendship Bread Starter
3 eggs
1 cup oil
1/2 cup milk (I used 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup milk)
1 cup sugar (I used 8oz of unsweetened applesauce instead)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1-2 boxes instant chocolate pudding 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 cup shredded coconut, sweetened (plus extra to sprinkle)
Directions
1. Preheat over to 325° F (165° C).
2. Grease two large loaf pans and dust with sugar if desired.
3. Add ingredients into mixing bowl and combine until moistened.
4. Pour the batter evenly into the pans and sprinkle coconut on the top.
5. Bake for one hour or until the bread loosens evenly from the sides and a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.

I received 10 beautiful batik fat quarters in my favorite jewel colors, a craft cady, many fun tote patterns that I can't wait to give a try, a magazine that I didnt get yet (which I have been wanting for a pattern that I have been following) and the cuttest little snap antique buttons. I am looking through the magazine now.
Thank you for your very thoughtful package. I cant wait to pick out a pattern to use those fat quarters.

I am so happy for you that you liked the items I sent to you! Looking forward to seeing pics of the bags you make with any of these items or any that you make really! Bags are so fun to make!
Enjoy!

I'd join everyone on the bench today, but I have to work. Besides, it's going to be 100+ degrees, so I'll be happy to stay in the air conditioned office. And if my squishie isn't here at the end of the work day, I'll bring my sweet juicy watermelon and cherries for a while after dark. Of course I'll share!!
