Personal Notes:
While visiting Tia Elena, she made these and we asked for the recipe. She handed me a page from a December 1961 “New Mexico Electric Newsletter “ and said we could keep it. I still have the page! It also has recipes for carne adobada, pozole (sic), empanaditas and empanadas. Free electric frying pan if claimed by Jan. 1, 1962!
