This pie is so good, It reminds me of my childhood and how my mother used her precious cocoa powder. I remember when I was a very small child, about two years old. Somehow I had climbed on top of a cabinet found a bottle of turpentine. Somehow I had gotten the cap off. Sugar wasn't easy to come by back then and my parents usually bought big bags of sugar, flour etc. Would you believe, I knocked that bottle of turpentine into the big bag of sugar. Though I was really small I never forgot. But, I don't remember if any of it was worth keeping.
