Personal Notes:
Jo and Doug Pruter were life-long friends (I went to elementary school, junior high and high school with with Doug!). They had a floral shop and decorating shop and they helped us with all sorts of occasions. We spent a lot of time together and this was one of their signature dishes. After Joe died, they brought some over to me every time they made it. They were so attentive to me after Joe passed.
