This recipe is also one from the Farmhouse Wall. Each recipe written on the wall must have been very important to this cook to preserve them to her walls like a time capsule. I love history and how recipes do tell a story of their own. I hope you enjoy all these treasures from a wonderful cook from our past who left an important piece of her life behind for the rest of us.
