We're fortunate to have spent the first four nights around Paris with the Elmers, a couple of expatriate Brits who have lived in their new home for 28 years. They shared this recipe with us for a delightful Date and Walnut Loaf. We took a little bit with us into the city each day for lunch. They gathered the nuts off of the neighbor's tree, although I'm sure the recipe would taste -almost- as good anyway you make it.
