I’m 65, when I was little we used to go to Charlestown NH to a diner on Main Street. This was a break of cooking for my Mom on Fridays. Every week I would get what I am going to Mel with this recipe. All these years been looking for it and no site had anything close. Thank you so much. Can’t wait to go get gelatin!!’nn
This is the recipe my mother made every Easter. Unfortunately her recipe had been lost several years ago and I’m delighted to have found this. It brings back happy memories. Thank you.
