Personal Notes:
This recipe is special to me, Doug brought this home from school when he was 9. They made them in school and he wanted me to have the recipe because I was such a "good cooker." I still have the original handwritten recipe and instructions, including who had which job during preparation. It means so much to me. He called often asking for recipes after he had a family of his own. I miss those calls almost as much as I miss him. Doug, forever 39.
