Hi David, thanks for sharing your Mama's recipe. And you did it so well. As one of those D@$&*% Yankees I just want to say I truly love Southern cookin and Eastern, and Western and just any kind of cookin. Please check the "What's for Dinner" board for my favorite dinner. "Beef and Noodles". Bon Appetit and let's have another recipe ya hear? ;-) Kathy
