Sometimes the best recipes come from friends and that is where this recipe came from, Dee Anna Crump! Dee Anna obtained the recipe from her mother, Carol Lawson.

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added”
checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several
emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Thanks a lot!

I sorry your getting bombarded with e-mails. I would think that this would be something that needed to be removed on your end. I would try going and unchecking the “Notify me when new comments are added” box. Hopefully that will solve you problem.
