This recipe has a wonderful tale.  This recipe is from a wonderful lady that cooks very well.  She is family, and she found CopyKat.com and was kind enough to send me some of her favorite recipes.  Recipe comes from Sue A. Mertens Minick from Hazelwood, MO. She actually found this site on the internet! And yes, she is family :-)
