It has really been rough trying to find Brown Bread, either with or without raisins in the grocery stores.  It was a favorite of our with Hot Dogs and Beans (Saturday night supper) when I was growing up.

When I was growing up, we always had Boston Brown Bread and Hot Dogs and Baked Beans as a supper about once a month.
