Lots of great cakes, muffins & quickbreads in there. Not to mention actual dinners. It makes me want to go away for a weekend... This recipe sounds very unusual, but it`s suprisingly good. Not delicious, really, but good." - Lisa From: Lisa Date: 07-31-96 (18:07) The Polka Dot Cottage, a BBS with a taste of home. 1-201-822-3627.
