Personal Notes:
From Grandma Boyd
From Lorry - These are recipes from distant relatives. Most of them were collected by Aunt Robbie and given to me as a wedding present. A few are not even relatives. Ask your mom (or Grandma) to explain who they are or I have tried to explain myself as I went along. The brackets [ ] are my own comments. If there was something fun written on the recipe when it was given to me I put it in quotes.
