Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Grammy's recipe has been made by the Madens many times. After the bread was cool, Grammy would slice it, spread a slice with soft cream cheese, cover with another slice, and then cut into triangles and serve. It has been very popular over the years (Papa particularly loved it), and I love serving it at tea parties.
