Okay…this…is the very very first recipe I ever collected back in the early eighties, named in honor of the friend I got it from. I’ve literally never made it without being asked for the recipe. This is new! I’ve never…NEVER put it online before but…here…I’ll make an exception. :o) Best wishes…Charlotte
