Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
My favorite part of this recipe is that my mom (Christine Cox Keeler), thought cloves meant the spice, not garlic cloves when she was a newlywed. By the time she figured it out, she decided she liked it better this way and kept it the same ever since. This was one of my favorite meals growing up.
