For the woman: here is your first-date advice. Remember that God wants you to help this man, and he probably needs it! Many men will be awkward and nervous on a first date, so do everything you can to be encouraging and friendly. Dress attractively, appropriately, and modestly (unless you really are hoping to attract a cad). Immodest dress or suggestive conversation is nothing less than an attempt to manipulate his interest. Women who do this incite men to lust and cause them to stumble, while starting the relationship on a very poor footing. Furthermore, do not be demanding or critical and do not complain (remember Prov. 21:9), and speak in a careful and edifying manner. Take an interest in him and get to know things about his life – his family, his work, and his interests. Speak freely about your faith and inquire about his (Richard and Sharon Phillips).

I made this recipe this afternoon so we could have it for breakfast in the
morning. Guess what? There isn't going to be any left by morning. I
attended a Cooking School sponsored by the Taste of Home Magazine last
spring and this recipe was featured. Just now getting around to making it.
It won't be the last time that I make it. Enjoy.
For filling: combine chocolate chips, milk, and sugar in a microwavable
bowl. Cook on high until chips are melted. Add coconut, pecans, vanilla,
and cinnamon and stir. Set aside to cool.
For dough: In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, and yeast.
Heat milk, water, and margarine until very warm (120 to 1130 degrees).
Gradually add to dry ingredients; beat for 2 minutes on medium speed. Add
egg and 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes more. Stir in additional flour to make
a stiff dough. Let dough rest for 10 minutes. Turn out dough onto
well-floured surface. Roll into a 10 x 18 inch rectangle. Transfer to a
greased baking sheet. Spread chocolate filling lengthwise down center third
of dough. Cut 1 in wide strips diagonally on both sides to within 3/4 inch
of filling. Alternately fold opposite strips of dough at angles across
filling. Shape into ring; pinch ends together. Brush lightly with oil. Let
stand 20 minutes. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes at 375 degrees.
Cool completely. In a small bowl, beat powdered sugar, margarine, vanilla,
and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled braid. Sprinkle with chopped
pecans.
