Notes: Aunt Betty Burianek was Bill King's aunt, sister to William O. King. She and her family lived at 1807 K Street SW. Betty and her daughter Elizabeth (known as Aunt ZiZi to the King Family) lived very frugally because her husband Charles died at a very young age. Betty and ZiZi would tackle just about anything including making building bookcases and furniture. They had many old time plants and flowers in their yard and garden. Joanna stated as we were working on putting together this cookbook that Aunt Betty was a very good cook. This recipe was written on The Home insurance Company New York Fire and Allied Lines memo pad paper
