This recipe was emailed from Leola to the family in Virginia Beach on 7/31/2006. Zell stayed back that year. Here was the rest of Zel's email:
"Hey now, just because I'm staying home does that mean I'm now the official family errand boy? Of coarse it does. I kid. Here is the recipe from Extending the Table... [above]
"Detailed enough for you? Hope you're all having a blast. I just finished mowing the lawn but have no ocean to go jump into to cool off so someone make sure they go do that for me today, ok? Ok. Love you all,
Zel"
