Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi GeGee, great to see you here and sharing your recipes, too. My Grams used to make these things she called Westerns, but she used hamburger in them. Ew! *lol* I like your Western recipe much better! Thanks. ~ PT ~ Send a maniac to catch a maniac. ~ " Demolition Man " ~~~*~~~*~~~> , GeGee Lite <chilifrenchfries wrote: > > This has always been a Sunday favorite when I > was a kid. > ~GeGee~ > > Western Family Omelet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
