Personal Notes:
As a little girl, we visited my daddy's family in Virginia each year. I remember going to a Mother/Daughter Banquet with mama at my great aunts church. We loved this dessert and mama asked for the recipe but the lady didn't give her the name of it, so after that, it was always called Margie's Thing or The Virginia Special.
