Menus From The Kitchen
By Mildred Huskins
We belong to the
chocoholics and there seems
to be no cure for those of us
who just can’t seem to resist
“anything chocolate.”
If you took a poll on
favorite desserts, more
people would probably pick
choariate cake than any
other except, maybe, apple
pie.
However, these chocolate
lovers would vary their
votes.. .some would vote for
a luscious layer cake, some
for cupcakes, some prefer a
loaf or pound cake or a
different version, just so
long as it is rich, moist and
“chocolatey.”
You can please everyone
and make any occasion
special with one basic recipe
that, simply by varying your
baking pans and times,
becomes five great cakes.
This one is made with Cocoa
and if you do a lot of baking,
remember that 6 ounces of
coca goes as far as 8 ounces
of chocolate making it more
economical.

We have much to learn from each other.
I look forward to that.
Aggressive leadership working overtime for
tbowan County—that is my pledge to you.

...those Who wonder what happened.
Join with me to make good things happen for
education in Chowan County.
Vote for LEADERSHIP on May 6th.

several weeks in advaricd.
Plan to'participate and have
fun.
Tip of the week: A ball is
holed when it lies within the
circumference of the bole
and all of it is below the level
of the lip of* the hole.
(Definition 4).
Worst tennis shot of the
week: Jerry Sary, in
making his serve, sliced it
across the road out-of
bounds. But his second shot
found its ususal {dace, in the
net. Double fault.
Next week: A golfer fin<&
a ball of the same brand an*
.number right next to his in
the middle of the fairway.
No identifying marks are on
either ball. What does he
do?
An apple tea tree reaches its
prime at about 50 years of age.
