here for you. Mum was Jean Emily COLLYER (nee McGARVIE) [1918 - 1991] and
no doubt this recipe was her mother's as well. You'll have to do the
conversion regarding the flour and measures though.

Just an interesting piece of trivia to add to your vast store of

side of the road. He said that since there are a lot of ambidexterious
people that tend to the right, that it must be due to driving. Since I am a

Dear lacers -
I know that creativity often shows itself in a person in many areas - i.e. if you are
creative in one area, chances are good you are creative in others.
I wonder if some of you who are also creative with pen and ink have thought of
