Aunt Lou’s Famous Chocolate Roll

Remember Aunt Lou’s Quick Shrimp Curry and her mini-bottle Easter egg hunt? She could fill a whole book of stories and recipes in and of herself. For example, whenever my older brother and I visited her as children, her idea of a bedtime story was an awful, scary ghost story about the house she lived in, which had been built in 1850—the very house in which we were staying. Then she’d kiss us good night and expect us to be able to sleep!
