Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is a recipe from Mrs. Audrey Paulet. Harry and Audrey Paulet were one of Patty and Bill Marzolf's best friends. Dad and Harry grew up together in St. Paul and attended St. Luke's grade school and St. Thomas Academy high school together. Throughout the years, they duck hunted together (with Uncle Bill Ryan, Uncle John O'Keefe, and Jim Harris) and spent time together at the Paulet and Marzolf family cabins. In later years, they purchased town homes in the same development in Woodbury, MN, allowing them to spend quality time together in their retirement years. A true friendship that lasted the test of time!
