Personal Notes:
I remember Marlene making loaves of these around Thanksgiving. When you went into the store around that season, she’d say “just a minute I have something for you”. She’d disappear into her private living space and emerge with a loaf wrapped in tin foil and a fancy string bow.
This bread seldom made it to Thanksgiving as mom and I would cut pieces to sneak.
Delicious bread for Thanksgiving time!
