Personal Notes:
Mary Lou from Syracuse, NY wrote a note on the top of this page that said "Fran - I use a little extra water and flour than this recipe says." (There is also a note on the back that says "Bobby - call me at the bar when you get home. I'm STARVING! Debbie". But that's another story....from 1974!)
