Hi K- I actually pulled this recipe off a recipe cared after a weekend going through my aunt's recipe box. She received these recipes from her friends after her and my uncle's home burned in the Oakland, CA fires years ago (nice gift from friends).

Thanks for pointing this out, as recipes come to all of us in many different ways.
