The Governor and Mrs. Ridge would like to share with you a family favorite recipe. The Governor and his father always favored this as a first course for Thanksgiving dinner and often worked together to prepare this tasty treat for the whole family to enjoy.

Since it has been quite sometime since the Governor's dad has joined them, this recipe has become a family tradition and a fond memory of the many happy years they had with him.
