Personal Notes:
This receipe was giving to me by Mrs. Virginia Crump. She now lives in a nursing home in Lexington. Her husband was Raymond Crump. I met Virginia in a beauty shop. She liked to talk to me about Bath County and mostly about Addison and Dorothy and Dorothy's family. She is a lovely person and she was a good cook.
