I love date nut bread. There is nothing quite like pulling a fresh loaf of moist date nut bread from the oven.
Two hands chopped dates
1 chunk butter
1 little finger baking soda
1 cup boiling water
Two hands white sugar
2 eggs beaten
2 hands flour
1 finger teaspoon salt
1 hand cup nut meats
Bake at 350 for one hour.
Cautionary Note: Cooking by hand – is just that – cooking by hand. I cook by hand so my recipes are generally a hand of this and a hand of that. A finger is as much of that item that you can hold on top of an outstretched finger. A palm is that which you can hold in the palm of your hand. A hand is that which you can hold on your hand flat with fingers stretched out. – come on folks — work with me here…. 
set the measuring cup aside, put down the measuring spoons and get cooking.
