So glad that Margaret mentioned this recipe! I have already copied it and will be making it for our small group this weekend.

Your "Mystery Dinner" (as told by M.) brought back so many memories!!! The "show" did too. You and your family were always so creative. You guys should really think about writing a book using some of your ideas. (Hmmmm...I' thinking "Little Women")
Love you,
Jane
