Personal Notes:
This is one of Jake's favorites. It was his great, great Grandmother, Mildred Wolfe's recipe, and we are very honored to share. Today is August 24, 2013 and our Sailor is currently deployed on the USS Bainbridge DDG 96 - we are so very proud of the man he has become. We ask the Good Lord to bless all of our Military, watch over them and bring them home safe.
