Personal Notes:
This was my mother's recipe (Katherine Agan). We have her exact recipe because Tim Stansell went and watched her make it one day and wrote down every step. For many years I have been making this recipe for our Thanksgiving meal. It's good and it tastes like hers...almost! Just never quite as good as what she made. This is true for anything our mothers made I think! When we were kids and ate many Sunday lunches at our Grandmother's house with all the cousins, aunts and uncles, mother would often make this early on Sunday morning before church to carry, She would always dip us out a little bowl after she mixed up everything and before she baked it the final time. This was back in the "olden" days when you didn't die from eating raw eggs!!! Katherine and husband Wallace married and had three girls together: Me (June), Janet and Rita.
