3/4 c  Sugar

    1/4 c  Butter, softened

      2    Eggs

  1 1/2 c  Light sour cream

      1 ts Grated orange peel, fresh

      1 tb Orange extract

      3 c  All-purpose flour

  1 1/2 ts Baking powder

      1 ts Salt

    3/4 ts Baking soda

  Heat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, combine sugar and butter.
  Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy (1 to 2
  minutes).
  Add eggs; continue beating until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes). Add light
  sour cream, grated orange peel and orange extract. Continue beating;
  scraping bowl often, until creamy (about 1 minute).
  Add flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Continue beating,
  scraping bowl often until just mixed (about 1 minute). Do not over
  mix. By hand, stir chocolate chips and chopped pistachios.
  Spoon batter into a greased 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pan. Bake for 60 to 70
  minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. (If
  browning too quickly, cover loaf with aluminum foil.)
  Cool 10 minutes; invert onto cooling rack. Cool completely. Stir glaze
  ingredients together until smooth; drizzle over bread.
  **Note: For a more tender crust, do not glaze immediately. Wrap loaf
  in plastic wrap; refrigerate overnight; then prepare glaze and
  drizzle over bread.
