Final Comments


NOTES : Serving number is a guess. Depends on how you slice it. I received this recipe at a staff pot luck I was invited to at Stevens School when Juli was in 6th grade. It was either late 1983 or early 1984. Her teacher, Ray Phillips said it was to die for and popped it in my mouth. He was right!!
