Donated by Lirit Vance. Her Grandmother died in January 2000, and she donated

all of her grandmother's recipe books and recipe discs to me in March 2000. She

wanted them to go to a good home, seeing that she doesn't cook. I am greatly

appreciated in her doing this. This recipe has come from those books and discs,

and up to receiving them, they have never to my knowledge seen their way onto

the web, or any recipe group.
