Personal Notes:
This recipe was given to me by my Aunt Merlene. She was my grandmother (Granny Choma's sister). She will always be remembered by me as fiesty, but she had a good heart and my mom and her were like sisters. After, mom passed away, Aunt Merlene sent me birthday cards until her health did not allow her to. I always wondered if mom had asked her to do that for her before she passed away. I would cry every time I received a birthday card from her. She will always hold a special place in my heart for this one simple act of kindness.
