RECIPE BACKSTORY
We collect cookbooks; my husband just inherited his Dad's collection (he loved to cook, too). This recipe is from one of his old cookbooks: (1937) $2500 worth of FAVORITE RECIPES for 25 cents, (compiled by Nancy Dorris, cooking editor of THE NEWS (New York's Picture Newspaper) While looking through it, I thought this would be a good recipe.
