I have always enjoyed learning new recipes.  This is one that I saw in the newspaper many years ago.  How many?  I don’t remember but I think I’ve been making this since I lived in Pennsauken so it’s about 15-20 years old.  I don’t make it anymore.  It’s too much work, but I taught JoAnn  how to make them and maybe she’ll keep the recipe going.  I used to make it on Sundays and serve it as a main dish or with spaghetti.
