About


I first started playing with this recipe when I was 10 years old.  I'm now 50 and I perfected it when I was about 24 and have been serving it for 40 years to raves and pleadings for the recipe which I have always been happy to share.  I've never understood why people won't share a recipe.  A shared recipe lives forever, a hoarded one dies with you.
