One day when the Lenz children were staying at Aunt Jeanette’s, they experienced this wonderful dish! To this day all of the Lenz children (Dan, Cara, Liza and Ryan) will not forgive Aunt Jeanette for feeding them this recipe. I believe it was also on this day that they learned what the long fingernail on the little finger is good for! Maybe this was why the recipe did not turn out I wonder? (This is not the recipe Aunt Jeanette used, so I am sure it will be much better.)
