Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Relatives lived on a farm in Jefferson, adjacent to the Crawfish River. I don't recall their names, or the relationship. I visited once, about age 9, with the Schendel family (was Uncle Ben still alive?) It was a magical day, other than tasting warm fresh milk! We visited Aztalan State Park, nearby. I'm sure this family is the reference to the source of this recipe.
