Personal Notes:
Well girls and boys, Good Luck on this one. My mother loved to make this but when she made this one I had to sit at the table and not hardly breathe. I dare not speak. As she grew older she didn't make it anymore. On the other hand I remember it being quite lovely and even heavenly;so soft and totally sweet. A very sweet memory of my young mother.
